In Memoriam: The Rep's Brad Graham

We were very sad to hear about Brad Graham's death yesterday. Brad was the marketing Jedi at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, and he was an extra marvelous help to us last summer when we were putting together our fall arts guide -- we sent our writer, Byron Kerman, to get Amadeus by the numbers, from powdered wigs to Tony nominations. Brad went beyond the beyond to help us. I didn't realize that he was the wit behind the neoglism  "blogosphere," till I read Judy Newmark's obituary on the Post's Culture Club blog this morning, but it just goes to show what a fine mind, and sharp sense of humor, he had. Condolences to his friends, family and peers. --Stefene Russell
