Hey Heather! Here's a shout out to you, too, me dove for your lovely tribute
to those in the Winedale tribe you may not know but love through association.
And yes, Doc's tribute to Robert was the best, the sweetest, the funniest and
the most moving. What an excellent writer Doc is, hmm?
Robert! Congratulations on this milestone! I have been gone from Austin and
Texas for so long, but I can well imagine the mark you (of all people) have
made! Kudos to you, and all my best to you and your family!

Such shivers as I read this. Not being one of the anointed few (many?) who
know Robert Faires, I did not want to pile on. HOWEVER, Doc’s inspired
rededication of this poem nearly brought me to tears. Despite the fact that I
know none of you past 1973-74, I feel I know you nonetheless.
My sincere respects and appreciation for you, Robert.

I love you, Robert, the Ding to my Dong!
I loved reading everything you wrote and I've been proud and happy to have
known you before you wrote for the Chronicle, while you wrote for the
Chronicle and now after you've written for the Chronicle. You are a wonderful
writer and were the perfect

For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to his eyes repair,
To help him of his blindness;

It really feels like the ground has shifted, now that Robert is stepping
away from being an institutional pillar of the Chronicle. To be honest, it
makes me want to go back and reread everything he's written. (And also to
say, Robert, that it would be nice if you wrote a bunch more.)

Say it ain’t so, Robert!
Can it really be 35 years? What a run. That means for more than half my life,
I’ve had the pleasure of looking forward to picking up the Chronicle each week
and knowing your voice would be in there somewhere in the Arts section. I
think you and I were still
Congratulations Robert! That’s a fine record and accomplishment. And you were a
fine editor and boss ☺️. We all look forward to what comes next for you!
