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 = = = = = = = = = = = = Shelley Fisher Fishkin Stanford University
