I’m a Tron Boy

Oh, darn. Cindy Morgan has died.

I once saw Cindy at a show outside of Boston. Nobody else happened to be at her table, and we were able to talk for a long time. She was immediately bright and funny and flirtatious. “You aren’t a Caddyshack boy. I bet you’re a Tron boy!” I laughed and said she was right, and that I was a Tron fan.

When I told Cindy I’d never seen Caddyshack, she opened her eyes wide in exaggerated amazement. “Oh, so you’re the one! You must see it! You get to see a lot of me! A LOT more!” (Cindy has a nude scene.)

She asked my age, and we were only a year apart. Something else we had in common was being born near Chicago. We chatted as Cindy autographed a photo of herself for me, and I heard about her childhood, growing up in a working class family. We’d both been in broadcasting, where I had worked on air with a woman, so there was another point of common interest. As you can tell, it was a memorable conversation, and I’m saddened by Cindy’s passing.
