@c_thorsson Thanks! I enjoyed your book--I worked in publishing from 1976-1980 and was clueless about the cool things going on around me. But I did know Marie Brown and my h.s. classmate Errol McDonald--editorial director at Penguin today--worked for Toni Morrison. Cheers!

@dmsHighSteppin Hello you! Well if stepping down means re-connecting this is very good indeed. Hope to cross paths with you soon--I'm back in my native NYC, just blocks from where I was a kid in Harlem or Washington Heights. Be well--Rafia
