Joe B, if I were really tired of it all, had been there and done that, and had the occasion or need to redefine what the rest of my life should be, then my mindset would be exactly that. But, I wouldn't try to have it both ways.
I don't necessarily dislike JN for seeming a little aloof and possibly arrogant about other great GCA work. None of us will ever know what it is like to be Jack, ever! Yet, I don't relate to that mindset either.
I do think this may have a bit of a mellancholly element to it. To be so involved at the highest level for so long, and to be so interdependent on an organization you created, is both a great, exhilirating, and potentially a depressing situation at the same time.
I couldn't personally be disinterested or aloof to someone else's great GCA work, because I don't have any comprehension of what it is like to be Jack. I personally would be greatly interested and go out of my way to see it.
Yet, I feel a bit sorry for him, if he is truly disinterested by the prospect of paying tribute or respect to a collegue's work, right across the road!
