No worries! Am just happy--and yes, a shade envious--to see you are on such familiar terms with Rev. Twichell. :-)

Hi, Forum Members,
Please accept my apology for falling into the trap--after a hard day of gra=
ding term papers and then gardening in the July heat--of mistakenly sending=
a personal note to the entire list.
I always vowed that I would avoid this error, but I finally made the slip. =
May others learn thereby.
Regards,
Alan

Hi, Joe,
How goes it?
I am teaching two new courses this summer, so the class preparations have m=
e pretty well tied down.
Irene and I did get up to St. Louis to see Walt over the Fourth holiday. H=
e has finished his internship and now (gratefully) enters his actual reside=
ncy, much to his relief. We found him much older, more mature, quite chang=
ed from the eager young med student who left Alabama a year ago. However, =
he still loves his calling.
Valerie is preparing to undergo the guesswork of finding a residency. She =
will interview in a number of states. She, too, is much altered by her wor=
k in the hospitals. =20
Yesterday (Saturday) the NY TIMES devoted a section of its op-ed age to fou=
r responses to her recent column; all of them were very favorable.
Irene is in California visiting her parents and some friends. =20
That's so great that Matt found a position in the state where he most wante=
d to teach. Some of your luck evidently rubbed off on him. Try to encoura=
ge him to place his wonderful Twain chapter from his dissertation chapter.
Best regards,
Alan=
