My husband and I were able to meet with him and ThomCat in New York City when we were on vacation in 2007.
Here's a couple of photos from our very happy visit:
ThomCat on the left and MAHNY on the right:
Here's the four of us from left to right:

(153,122 posts)Michael Rappaport is my favorite though
When I thought I couldn't love Michael Rapaport anymore, I do! I loved him on FRIENDS (he was only on a couple of the episodes-I only mention it because it's the first time I'd ever seen him in anything), he's supposed to be great in Netflix's, Atypical
and he has such a way with words!!!!
Keep it up, Michael!

(5,149 posts)You are really wowing us with your photo skills. I remember the first one you posted of yourself sporting a shorter hair design.
Photos say so much, worth a 1000 words. MadAsHellNewYorker has such a kind smile in the images.
RIP, brother.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,534 posts)I've learned quite a lot about how to get good photos from the talented group in our Photo forum.
MAHNY was a very special young man. Gone too soon, way too soon.

Yeah, meetups have gone the way of the dodo bird. No idea why. They were so much fun.

CaliforniaPeggy
(149,534 posts)I appreciate your generous remarks.
However, I don't look exactly like this photo......it was 13 years ago!
It's close enough, though.
MAHNY did have a great smile!

(402 posts)He looks young. I hope this won't offend you, but, how did he die?
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,534 posts)I wish they had.
JeaneRaye
(402 posts)Yeah, it probably would have provided some closure to those who knew him.
CaliforniaPeggy
(149,534 posts)Perhaps the family didn't want it discussed publicly.
I just don't know and I don't understand it.
