Many thanks to Fred Rasmussen for taking the time to write such a wonderful summary of his life.

Marc Steiner, Baltimore's preeminent local talk show host had Lou on his show many times. Marc's relaxed style and incisive questions brought out the best in Lou. He has added a very thoughtful tribute to his blog:
