[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Vale Brian Street

These wonderful posts about such a creative genius and beautiful mind and
soul render the suggestions of Jim and Judith all the more significant.  As
I recall, it is not too difficult to have a section of our RHF site where
we could post both tributes AND links to videos (don't think it is wise to
post the videos on our site, but not necessary if the sites on which they
are posted is stable).

I suppose we could even get our own YouTube site.
