I thought of that as soon as I heard about the fire.<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize that John Simon had died. He was truly devoted to Grant. I'm glad that you wrote about your correspondence with him.<BR/><BR/>I've been busy with local politics and reading for CW book club, but it was because of a sad news story that I found your blog once more. I needed to look up <A HREF="http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2008/10/governor-fires.html" REL="nofollow">Rick Beard,</A> and one place that mentioned him was Dimitry, who has your blog on his blogroll.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Beard is prone to shoplifting, it seems. But the transgressions of the pols in this state are so much greater! Guess that "academics" are held to very high standards.Terry Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094448745983306776noreply@blogger.com
