What a wonderful essay! Thank you! --susan harris Susan K.

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!
