He died at 101!  Hell of a run.  RIP.

He must have been the last of the original Beats.

I've been to the City Lights bookshop on several trips to SF over the years, though never when he was in the shop, as least as far as I know.  

wow, what a run. 

I guess Gary Snyder gets lumped in with the Beats, and he's still kicking at 90.
