I'm looking forward to this event.  Mr. Hirst has been General Editor of the
Mark Twain
Papers longer than anyone before him.  I met him when Fred Anderson was
still in charge
Hirst and Mr. Branch were the experts on a period of Mark Twain's life
I was focusing on.  Fred wrote to both of them asking what they thought of
my project and
they both were encouraging.  (I should add that 30 years later, I finally
realized I'd
been on a long misadventure with Mark Twain)   Later I heard  a lecture Mr.
Hirst gave in a classroom when he came to Berkeley,  but I can't remember
any details.  I think perhaps he was going to join the staff at the Mark
Twain Papers.   I was profoundly saddened by
Fred's death.  I'd returned home to Sacramento for several weeks and had no
idea what had happened.  Mr. Hirst was Fred's successor.  Eventually , I
submitted some part of my research to Mr. Hirst and only remember one remark
which baffled me for ages.
He said something about circumstantial evidence being like finding a trout
in
the milk.  I didn't recognize the quote and wasn't sure if it was for or
against circumstantial
evidence.  I finally learned it was from Thoreau, and a New England friend
explained that
there was a time there when people watered the milk hence....  ""Some
circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a *trout* in the *
milk*." - Henry David Thoreau

I will pay careful attention to his talk on September 29th!
