Dear Tom,
How kind of you to reply! You will be missed at Kzoo, and particularly at
Porlock. Anne P. had suggested that you might do a return-performance as a
cross-dresser, this time in the role of Q. Elizabeth (for Lady of May), but
I guess that's a spectacle that must wait for another time.
Hope you're enjoying the Arizona weather--just don't hang around for the
summer heat.
Best wishes,
Rob
