Larry and All, I just want to also say how much I appreciate these posts. I'm learning things I never knew and I'm interested in all things Twain. What a wealth of knowledge you have. And if the answer isn't readily available, one of you will surely find it. Another reason I'm answering Larry's post is because I too will be helping Hal Holbrook celebrate his 90th birthday Feb.17. I will be sitting somewhere in the vicinity of Cindy Lovell. I would love to meet fellow lurker, Larry and any of you that may be there. I have never seen his portrayal of Mark Twain and am so looking forward to it.

As a long time lurker to the Twain Board and an infrequent contributor, I'd l= ike to express to everyone on here how much I appreciate the discussions, in= depth Twain insights and knowledge presented by the board members that just= can't be found elsewhere. I'm not a scholar by any means, but my love of Mr= . Clemens works is so enriched with the discussions here. Thanks to you all!= I am especially excited to have gotten my tickets for Mark Twain Tonight wit= h Hal Holbrook at the Bushnell in Hartford.=20 Seeing Mr. Holbrook as Twain is an event that I thought that I would never g= et to experience. The thought of being able to sing Happy Birthday to Mr. Ho= lbrook on his ninetieth birthday, with hundreds ( thousands?) of other fans= , in Hartford, thrills me beyond words. This is a bucket list item that I thought I'd never be able to cross off.=20= Cheers to you all and thank you for all of your amazing insights and discuss= ions.=20 Warmest regards Larry Dann Now back to the lurking, currently in progress...=
