I admit I knew nothing of Charles neider's passing until I read Kent's note, and I second his feeling we all owe much to Neider. For many years, neider's collections were the most readily accessible source for much of Twain's shorter works, and my bookcase has many of the editions Kent listed. I particularly remember enjoying and benefiting from THE OUTRAGEOUS MARK TWAIN when I was working on my dissertation. I am also grateful for PAPA, a sad and poignant volume. As recent Forum comments indicate, his version of the AUTOBIOGRAPHY is still widely in favor, although I agree some of his later efforts were much less credible. Speaking of Twainians past, I still think we should come up with some way to recognize Darryl Baskin, the man who shaped the first Elmira conference that set the stage for all that followed.
