I was grateful for Wes Britton's stories about Pascal Covici. I just wanted to add a personal note. Pascal was the first person I met at the first Mark Twain Circle gathering at MLA that I attended. He made me feel at home, and refused to let me leave without extracting my promise to get more involved in the Circle. That first conversation set in motion a series of activities and friendships that have meant a great deal to me in the years since. I gather, from other comments on the Forum, that the warmth and generosity I encountered at that first meeting were characteristic of Pascal's behavior as a colleague. He will, indeed, be missed.
