Signal boost: Chicago Pohl memorial, and Jim Frenkel

This is information paraphrased without attribution, by request of the originator. I don't entirely agree with them (as they know) but think the information is worth passing along:

The memorial for Fred Pohl in Chicago's northwest suburbs is coming up in about a week. The event is free and open to the public. There will be a bunch of invited people speaking, followed by a reception. At the request of Betty Ann Hull (Fred's widow), Jim Frenkel will be one of the speakers.

If you feel unsafe or uncomfortable around Jim Frenkel, you may want to skip the memorial, leave before the reception, or keep an eye out. Assuming he behaves appropriately, this wouldn't be a good time or place to confront him, because the emphasis should be on Fred Pohl and because it would be unlikely to achieve anything. (Note that introductory clause: Nobody, even someone with an impeccable past, should get a free pass for harassment "because it's a funeral".)
