Dear All,

Too bad we don't have a "Living National Treasure" designation in the U.S. as they do in Japan.  But  all of us know that if we named "Living National Treasures" in the U.S., our dear Hal Holbrook would be at the head of the procession.

I hope anyone lucky enough to live where Hal is performing will arrange to see him! The show just gets better and better.

All the best,
Shelley
