Hello Doc, and a Many Happy Returns of the Day.

birthday celebration. Words cannot fully express my gratitude for all
that you have done, not only for me but the other scholars in our

Thank you, Doc, for the lovely St. Valentine's Day message. And thanks

I remember the volleyball matches between '84 class members. James had
an advantage with his height, but it was the fire in his belly that
made him formidable. I played adequately (remember, bad hand-eye

Many congratulations, Robert. Thirty-five years. Has it really been
that long. I remember when you took over from your predecessor, a
competent but somewhat sluggardly fellow that just hadn't raised the
coverage of dramatic and concert arts up to the level they needed to
be at th Chronicle.
Great verse, Terry, and apt to Doc. Thanks for expanding my wee
knowledge of late nineteenth-century Scots poets. I'll search it out,
maybe memorize it, to sharpen my poor failing wits.

Why does this remind me of "This is a Play," or whatever it was called
from "Fahrenheit 451," where you would interact with the theatre on
your vidscreen wall. This, needless to say, has less sinister
connotations because of the social context, but the actors whispering

Madge pretty much sums up all I would have to say at this moment. I
