I am posting the following on behalf of Hal Holbrook (I forwarded all
the birthday messages to his assistant, who faxed them to him)
I want to thank everyone in the Mark Twain Forum who sent me these
wonderful birthday wishes. I did not know that I had so many
brothers and sisters of the heart and mind until I went to Elmira
last summer for the Mark Twain Conference. These good wishes have
been a lovely gift for my 85th birthday. Thank you everyone. Hal
Holbrook
