David:

It's interesting that the idea of seeing Hal Holbrook in person stimulates
your desire for a correspondence course in Twain.  First step: get his
recently released video of his 1967 performance on Kulture (I believe).
Stanford doesn't offer correspondence (or on-line) courses on Twain.  Does
anybody else on the list know of such a course?  And if not, would the
Mark Twain Forum consider putting one together -- why, we could get rich!
rich! we could make millions and never have to work again!  At least we
wouldn't have to eat turnips!  A project worthy of Col. Sellers.  No,
seriously, does anyone know of such a course?
