Laura,
Very kind words, thank you. I think I may have been only visiting
that class of yours, at Brother Larsen's invitation. Back when I was
actually attending his class I had no ambition beyond passing it.
There was, though, a student named Card in my poetry class--Orson Scott.
But hey, how can I not love Laura D. Card? (I have a dangerously low
love threshhold.)
Once again,
Marvin Payne
(sort of rhymes, if you want it to)
