We were studying the Transcendentalists at the time, and I think he (and losing him that term) might be part of the reason why I fell so deeply in love with Whitman and Thoreau (though not Emerson or Fuller - he loved both, I still can't quite get there).Roof Beam Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792884580084363046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-30447400502043687982012-06-12T12:56:47.474-04:002012-06-12T12:56:47.474-04:00Sending lots of hugs, Allie.

I expect that it's incredibly hard to lose a friend, and for some of your students he was probably a mentor. But your reaching out, and the students showing such obvious signs of keeping his memory in such a high honor is powerful, moving, and a real reflection on how wonderful you all are.Becca A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11142425697063892170noreply@blogger.com
