I knew David for a long time, about 37 years to be inexact, first as a classmate in the graduate program in English at the University of Cincinnati and later as a colleague at Central State University. Like many I was in awe of David's learning, his Erasmian ability to put things in perspective, to answer almost any question, and of that genuine, idiosyncratic sense of humor and good humor. It seemed puns were chasing him even as he was having fun with them.
I often addressed him as Rabbi or Levy because of his elegant store of knowledge and wisdom and he responded by calling me Imam, although my last name has nothing to do with any religion. Hard to accept the stark truth that he is gone. I wish he were still with us, even if he was constantly telling us esoterically bad jokes. If I said his jokes were bad, he would say his bad jokes were better than other people's good jokes.
In memoriam David Shevin, friend, philosopher, and guide.
