It's terrific to honor Larry Berkove, and I applaud this decision of the MTJ: Larry is one of the most serious, thorough, and painstaking scholars of Twain. I also think of him as exemplary in helping anyone who would ask: he helped me as a graduate student, on my first scholarly panel. congratulations, Larry! -hb -- Prof. Harold K.
