Another Harry Chapin fan

Very few people have a song written about them. Even fewer have songs that are part of the fabric of their lives as Taxi was to me, even to this day. I have often wondered who she was and what she was all about-especially when I sing this song when I hear it on the radio-which isn't very often.

Dear Clare, Your passing has solved a forty-six (46) year mystery of mine. In 1974 I was a resident at Daytop Village, Millbrook, NY.

Although I didn't know her personally, she will be fondly remembered by fans of the late Harry Chapin every time we hear the words of his song "Taxi". Thank you so much for the inspiration, from Chapin fans worldwide.

This week-end I found a photo of Clair and I at a NYC society ball and was going to send her a copy. I first met Clair when she was in High School and I was delivering the Xmas mail when we both lived a block apart in Georgetown. I was very saddened read of her passing and my prayers and best wishes to her memory and to the others who knew and cared for her.

My deepest condolences to you David and all of Clare's family. I have lost a "lifeline" to my past, as we have known each other since I was a teen. I regret that our "chats" have been fewer in the last few years. R.I.P. Clarita. Your loss is great.

RIP "Sue". Thanks.
