The attrition rate for the most fantastic Twain scholars is way too high, 
I hope everyone is doing their best to stay healthy .

I will miss Tom way too much :(

Thanks for the post :)

Thank you, Alan, for the notice. What sad, sad news and a loss to our commu= nity. Thomas was an amazing scholar whose sense of humor was unparalleled. = He will be missed.
