Welcome happy readers. Thanks for being here.
Yesterday after writing my blog it struck me that we were in the last days of Max Gavaskar. She may only live for a few more months. I hope to get to see her again before she leaves us for good but I may not. I may have met the Mother of the Galaxy for the last time and that saddens me a great deal. Not that I have had regular daily meetings with her but knowing that she is a small part of my life makes me proud. Max Gavaskar has come to know many people areound the Galaxy and one of them is me.
I can honestly say that I knew her before she became known as the Mother of the Galaxy. When I first met her she was a refugee from the SID. Back then the SID was the most powerful human agency even though their influence was small on planet Kusha.
When Max first went underground she met Alice Toten who arranged for Max to hide out with David Green, a member of the Paladain Society. Unfortunately Mister Green was killed almost immediately after he and Max met.
In conversations I’ve had with Ms. Toten, I’ve come to learn that when Max first went to Ms. Toten Max wanted to try to get to planet Kusha. Alice Toten thought getting to Kusha would expose Max too much and assumed that the SID agents would be looking at the pathway between Harappa and Kusha.
History tells us they were. The SID was focusing on starship loads going to planet Kusha and mostly ignored the Lavan flights. Had that little quirtk of history gone only a little differently Max may have been found and arrested.
How would history have been different had Max been caught?
