Thank you for this. I've been following the heartfelt descriptions of the loss those who knew him have felt, regretting that I never met him. One link led me to his students' assessments and a picture of him. And now I've read his own words and am grateful for them. Again, thank you so much for this link. I have every intention of using some of his suggestions for a "Classic Books" book group I"m responsible for and think he might have enjoyed my file name for them: Kiskislist.
