Although I have been away from the IPA and the Psychohistory Forum for a number of years, this absence has not affected my love and appreciation for Henry Lawton. For me, the most astounding attribute for which I smile whenever I imagine speaking with Henry again was his fantastic sense of humor. My appreciation is based on his love of film and his incredible interpretations of them. His enlightening exercises in popular psychohistory enabled me to see how so many of these pictures were intended to exacerbate social fears, ignorance, and to reinforce myth-based prejudices and phobias.

Thinking of Henry brings a smile to my face. Thinking of his long-term suffering at the end of his generous life only causes me to admire him even more. He could always make me laugh and smile.
