Dear Susanne, Much "levefull busynesse ! I called you-all on Xmas eve, but got Anne's 911 screech and hung up. You really should change that to gentle soothing glee. I am sending you both for Christmas past an offprint of my Canonization talk on Donne's poem not my advancement. I wish you luck in LA and want to hear what happens. I don't do Facebook, but I might get into one of those handy things; Be not the first to lay the old aside. I must be the frontrunner for the last to try anything new in life, but I am spinning toward 80 and feel fine. As usual I need Julia's address and phone and email. Love to both of you and a splendid NEW YEAR(s). I don't know whether you knew Kate Frost (PU Phd) (Texas), died of C a short while ago, wrote her obit in JDJ. Those of us who are holding on had better stick together.Yrs, tpr
