It really grieves me to learn of his passing. Is there an address to which cards and expressions of sympathy may be sent?

Dr. Thomas A. Tenney (1931-2012), best known for editing the MARK TWAIN JOU=
RNAL but also recognized for his assistance to younger scholars, died yeste=
rday at 3:45 p.m. of heart failure after a brief stay in a Charleston hospi=
tal.

Dr. Tenney received the John S. Tuckey Award from the Center for Mark Twain=
Studies at Elmira College in 2005.  He was the author of MARK TWAIN:  A RE=
FERENCE GUIDE (1977) and its various supplements, along with numerous other=
publications.

There will be a private family service at a later date, according to his wi=
dow Margaret Tenney; no public funeral will be held.

Before his death Dr. Tenney made arrangements for the continuation of the M=
ARK TWAIN JOURNAL.

Sincerely,
Alan Gribben=
