I just went to www.marktwainhouse.org and joined as a national member, $40.
I urge others to do the same!  I'll never forget my first visit to the
house, especially when I walked into the billiard room, where I could surely
feel Mark Twain's presence.  If the house were to go under, it would be the
worst catastrophe for the Twain world since bankruptcy and Susie's death
caused the Clemens family to sell their beloved home. I know it will take
much more than mere memberships to save the house, but I feel good knowing I
have done my small part...
