Margo would have loved "Argo."

And "Fargo".

I really miss the I Miss the I Miss the I Miss the I Miss Margo thread.
But not the others.

Was just thinking of her this morning, one of my favorite reviews opened with the lines "Margo is tired, very Tired"

Am I correct in assuming Margo passed? I always enjoyed our conversations.

Supposedly he passed. I still don't know how. He was the first BWW-er I ever met. Wonderful guy.

Whizzer has picked up the torch with grace and intelligence, but I still catch myself logging on to BWW to read Margo's reviews.

I definitely miss him.

He really came across as a wonderful person. What age bracket was he?

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 7/9/14 at 9:00pm

He was in his forties, I'd say.

This is Margaux, our new puppy. I think Margo would have loved her.

Welcome to BroadwayWorld, La Margaux!

As M'Lynne says to Annelle--"She would have LOVED that..."

Did the actual person or the BWW persona pass?

He was a very smart participant here.

It was said that the real poster died. For the longest time any mention of it would get deleted by BWW.

I am shocked this thread remains 24 hours later. She really made BWW for me when I first joined. For those youngsters among us she was part empress, part den mother. I really do miss her.

MargoChanning (James) did pass away, about five or six years ago. This was told to me by a mutual friend who, sadly, has also passed. I'm not sure of the details, and it's really not my business, but he's gone.

His posts were a large part of what attracted me to this board in the first place. His knowledge was immense, and he always knew what to say and how to say it.

Margo was the first BWWer I met in person, and just so smart and generous and all-around knowledgeable. I miss him too.

He helped me out a lot when I was first coming out. What Joe said is very true. He was a beautiful soul.

[CarlosAlberto]

In remembrance of MargoChanning. He was a sweet soul. I miss his presence here as well.

He could also be a real fun bitch to hang around with! Favorite memory? First preview of IN MY LIFE sitting between him and Iflitifloat. We HOWLED. And then went to Marseille and met up with others and continued to howl into the night. I think we sold five tickets that night to other BWW-ers.

Good times.

January 24, 2008 was the last time he posted (the review thread for Come Back Little Sheba)

Margo gone. Iflit gone. Joe Brooks gone. It's the IN MY LIFE curse, I tell ya.

We need Winston to come back.

Robbie, that was the best night. Absolutely favorite Margo memory! I still laugh when I remember it.

I also remember going to the opening Preview night of the revivial of A CHORUS LINE with him (and Cookie and KMF-NYC). We spent hours and hours and hours (back at Marseille) after the show talking about it. Wonderful.
