   I also have a book or two from old Nick’s collection, though I never had the pleasure of making his acquaintance.

   “Unto them from whose eyes the veil of life hath fallen may there be granted the accomplishment of their true Wills; whether they will absorption in the Infinite, or to be united with their chosen and preferred, or to be in contemplation, or to be at peace, or to achieve the labour and heroism of incarnation on this planet or another, or in any Star, or aught else, unto them may there be granted the accomplishment of their wills; yea, the accomplishment of their wills.”

   I had the great pleasure of meeting Nick a handful of times and spoke with him on the phone a few days before his passing. He was a gentleman and a scholar in the truest sense. His funeral was memorable and very well attended.

   He was a real gent and a friend. I managed to visit with him a couple of times in the weeks before he passed. His funeral was absolutely packed with friends from various aspects of his life. Five years on and Weiser are still working through selling his book collection. There’s supposed to be a book from them about the best items in his personal library at some point down the line. I still think about Nick often and it doesn’t feel like half a decade since he went.

     Sandyboy – do you have any idea when Weiser to plan to issue their book on Nick’s collection? it would be a wonderful tribute to him.

       No, I’m supposed to write something for it but I’m told they are still working through his sizable collection.

   Hello Everyone,

   Thank you for the consideration you’ve all shown posting more memories of Nicholas for us here.

   With the 5th Anniversary of his passing now upon us his photo is before me – wearing his Baphomet T-shirt and enjoying his life.
   I’ve been chatting with him all week… and happy to have provoked likewise thoughts from some of my “A.C.S.” friends.
