Jay S. Kingston 1960-2021; Good guy in a bad place in life.
On April 18th 2021 a former long time friend passed away. Jay S. Kingston. We knew each other in Warwick Vets High School part of the school's science fiction club in 1976. Later in 1977 he told me something about this little film called ....STAR WARS...and the rest was history. Jay was a truly funny and talented guy. He was like a walking stand up act, impersonations, etc. We were the same age and probably had I not stayed back one year in 1969 been in the graduating class in 1978. We had some truly fun times in those days. Then again we were younger. We made Super 8mm "movies" with a friend, sci fi stuff that really was pretty awesome for what it was. When STAR WARS became the BIG THING, we dressed as the characters and were asked, with friend Jack Eaton to perform as the characters. I was Luke obviously. My mother made some of the costumes. Jay would rope in some of the many girls he knew as a Leia depending on availability. See the above photo from Summer 1978 from...
