Sad to hear, Hal, & lovely epitaph from you. I met him only once at a conference here at the University of Alberta (held in Banff) on Western writing in both the US & Canada; I remember him as telling us how writers in the US West felt about New York, & we telling him that that was exactly ho we felt about Toronto. He came across as a man full of life.... Doug On 12-Feb-09, at 1:02 PM, Halvard Johnson wrote: > Keith Wilson died the other day.
