6th Annual Dewey Day! 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯

Today MovieChat again remembers our dear friend, godewey, who left us much too soon five years ago.

godewey (or "Dewey") was a wonderful human being who had quite an impact here from the earliest days of the site, and the many friends he made here brought him a measure of comfort and joy as he battled illness.

For those who never got to know him, just think of the best guy you know. That's Dewey. Intelligent, funny, gracious, irreverent, and extraordinarily generous*. He had a warm and easy rapport with nearly everyone. That's why so many remember him so fondly, and it's why we light the candles every September 16th.

I will be pinning Dewey-related threads to the first page of the General Discussion board throughout the day as our members create them or as they bump up old favorites.

Thanks to StoneKeeper for graciously honoring Dewey in his weekend movie club thread. I will be watching Witness for the Prosecution tonight and raising a glass in Dewey's honor.

*From a post I found recently as I was researching Dewey's favorite movies:

I went to Haiti a few years ago on a volunteer mission and it changed my life.
A few times a month I volunteer at the children's hospital, retirement homes and the animal shelters.
It made me really appreciate what I have. It has brought me so much joy I can't even describe it.
