Colleagues / Friends ... Just wanted to let you know: The 9th Annual Mark Twain Birthday Party & Symposium -- held in Buffalo this past Saturday -- was a sell-out, with standing room only. The presenters gave a nice mix of Twain, with one of the top Twain impersonators in the country -- Mike Randall -- delivering an excellent performance. Plans for next year's 10th anniversary edition are already underway, and more information will be sent during the coming year. But as with this year, seating will be limited ... and it will offer some very special surprises to Twainiacs. Errol Craig Sull University @ Buffalo
