Subject: Re: Dawidziak on Holbrook

“Thank you, Mark” seems a reductive expression of gratitude for this eloquent and moving tribute. It is such a gift that you were able to convey the appreciation of so many of us at that conference in Elmira when Hal was present, enabling him  to hear how much he meant to us, and how much he had changed our lives. You were a wonderful friend to him and he appreciated you. You have also been a great friend to Mark Twain—and all of us. And we appreciate you, too!
Shelley

I have read number Holbrook obituaries this past week, as I expect many of
you have. None has come close to being as comprehensive, much less as
personally touching, as Mark Dawidziak's:
