last week, with the death of Joseph L. Duncan Jr., a onetime artist who spent the past few decades of his life asking passersby for a dollar in exchange for poetry or deep thoughts.
"He went to the Dudley area always to meet people and the spot just became his," said Joan Spicer of Stoughton, Duncan's older sister. "The police knew him, attorneys would by him food. No one ever bothered him and if you didn't see him, you knew something was wrong. He became a sentinel in that area."
