If you would like to speak on his behalf we are holding a celebration of his life and brief service on Friday, the day of his 84th birthday at St. Matthews 10 a.m. I would like to quote a few things you have said, may I.

And age has brought out his uniqueness even more. His mind is as brilliant as ever, making its incredible linguistic connections and mining all sorts of newly-explored possibilities. But he is more of a compulsive talker than ever, perhaps because arthritis has limited his movement (he is very mobile, and walks everywhere, but it is difficult to imagine, for those who do not know, that he was once a beautiful dancer). He is in his eighties, and I had hoped at one time to be able to collect information on his life, as I have not seen a comprehensive biography of him and because we have yet to honour him for his achievements. But any interview with him must take several hours because of how he talks, and I have not yet carved out the time.

Thank you for your information. I actually live in Cleveland, Ohio so shall not be bothering him, but I am pleased to know of his well-being. I do remember that when I knew him—30 years ago— he was a very unique human being.

Functioning and vital are subjective things.

Mr. Farrington is, to say the least, a unique human being. He doesn’t wish to have his address publicized, but you can find him if you travel in the vicinity of the Dunkin’ Donuts by the Bridge. He travels by foot and makes his way from his home in Centreville to a number of specific spots which can vary. I don’t usually find him; he tends to find me.

You may be able to locate him through the Tribune, whose offices he visits every now and then, I believe.

Would it be possible to obtain his address? Everything I read about him seemed to refer to him in past tense, so I am pleased to hear he is still functioning and vital.

Funny you should ask that. I spoke with him just yesterday. He’s well, though he is no longer dancing or teaching. His mind is still as active as it ever was.
