Maybe it's partly because I had a great aunt Tillie, but she is one of those writers I've always felt that I know, even though I never met her.

A deep bow to you and the beauty of your prose, which I had to go and excerpt above. (I do a lot of Walt Whitman-like post-publication revision; if he got away with it, I figure I got to be able to). Yesterday I saw the pussy willows Kathie got for the ceremony tomorrow (they're staying with us here). They're beautiful, and I know tomorrow will be, too. See you then.

And I had kinda figured out the Sandy Boucher connection from things you've written before... small community, yes? I look forward to seeing you there. Thanks so much for this!
