Madame
Very interesting tidbits here. Now I am really interesting in the life and the conspiracy theory of Williams death. Guess it's time to do some research.

The book that we were looking for was The Season of the Witch, there was a really worn copy in our local library but it was out of print in the shops.

I share your fear of "laser eye surgery", word.smith.
As a general rule, I tend to avoid any procedures in which the doctor feels compelled to wear "protective gear".

Hmmm......
Cosmetic surgery can kill, eh?
I'm such a pessimist that I'm thinking I'd be blinded if I ever thought about laser surgery for my shortsightedness. As to any dewlaps I might develop in the future ...I'll keep those, thank you very much.

I have entertained the thought, NCwriter.
However, the time and effort required would be prohibitive. Much easier to do it "peace meal" as a hobby.

Yeah, MsVision, he really was a tremendous writer.
Ironically, the success of the film version of "Midnight Cowboy" (only X-rated "Best Picture" winner ever) overshadowed his literary gifts, somewhat.

Madame,
This stuff is too good for you not to be thinking of compiling a book.....

I remember looking through the bookshop for a novel of his which really excited my sister and I.

Madame P.O.
I think it is really nice of you to memorialize these folks in this way. Touching, actually.

Really? That's interesting cause,
to be perfectly honest, I had never even
heard of him ... before I read about his terrible toothpick tragedy.

Madame, Had to read and write a term paper on Winesburg, OH in college.
Otherwise Sherwood Anderson is a benign force in the universe of my memory.
