Nice, nice....Ruff is a graduate of Cornell, if I remember right.....led to
Pynchon's wife thereby because of Pynchon?.....we could look up

Speaking in the past tense, a recent note I sent to Ms Melanie Jackson at
her Agency address, as I hve done in the past, some for Tom, a
couple to her was very recently returned as No Such address....has she
closed up shop?
