Larry (He insisted) was very generous and encouraging to me in my earlier amateur Twain studies, something that always stuck with me. When I finally got to meet him in Elmira we had a chance to discuss our sagebrush-related interests, and his enthusiasm was infectious- that was HIS warning, and he was, of course, spot on. A sad day, of course, but I'm guessing I'm only one of many with a fond memory of his open support for a rank beginner in the community of Twainians.
