Dear friends: I just learned the sad news that Marc Koechig (principal of M&M Books, Mark Twain enthusiast, and frequent poster here several years ago) recently passed away. I don't believe his passing has been noted on TWAIN-L, and I don't want to let it go unnoticed. I had the pleasure of meeting Marc and his wife, Mary, several years ago while doing research in Connecticut. They were both so knowledgeable and helpful, and I am sad to find out that they are both gone. There is a memorial page at http://marcuskoechig.posterous.com/ Marcus W. Koechig (April 9, 1949 - November 14, 2010), RIP Taylor Roberts
