Shucks, Jules, what's he going to do? Not write to us? Deny us a 
personal interview? 

Since I'm one of the "others," I'll chime in. First, I admit he had a 
heroic effect on my life. I loved the book when I first read it (22) 
& still love it. Call me corny but for a naive Midwestern hippie GR was 
a real eye opener on the world. Part of the fun was/is the mysterious 
air surrounding the author. You had the personal contact, so you really 
can't appreciate the fun of finding little snippets of info about him.
Thus my original comment.

So when's Chrissie coming back?
