Remembering Mr. Tagliaferro

Elise Ramsay says goodbye to the guy who gave her a copy of the Metro every morning at the Davis Square T stop:

You made me feel able to take on the day every morning, even when I felt my worst. You made me feel cared for, every time you warned me of whatever hazardous weather was upon us. I know this wasn’t really your goal, but I have to confess: I’ve rarely read the Metro these past few years. I look through it occasionally, but I got in the habit of taking one from you and recycling it downstairs on the platform, all for the experience of interacting with you. Thank you for your bright spirit and your generosity in sharing it with so many of us. You are so missed.
