Between February 1989 and May 1990, there were three significant deaths in the Sesame Street world. The first was
Joe Raposo, a
significant musician for Sesame Street and Electric Company. The last was
Jim Henson,
mourned by Big Bird,
remembered by Frank Oz, and
celebrated in
song by
many (from the
St. John's Memorial,
detailed here). The second person to die in this time period was
Northern Calloway,
Sesame Street's David. Unlike
Joe and
Jim, there were no
television tribute to Northern's life and career on
Sesame Street or
Broadway. Instead, David,
once a young, cool, urban guy, who was studying to be a lawyer while working at Mr. Hooper's storeand the initial romantic interest of Maria,
left the show through a letter, read by Gordon. The story behind David is told below the fold.
