Daniel Pinkwater was a year ahead of me at Bard College (I knew him as 
Manus Pinkwater) and went on to an illustrious career as a writer of 
children's books and NPR commentator. Although I am generally not 
interested in receiving praise from any quarters and feel much more 
vindicated by opprobrium, I did want to share this note that he just 
posted on my blog:

Louis! At long intervals I leave my workbench to visit sites where 
people who concern themselves with what may be "reality" express and 
discuss.  One of my favored stops is to read things you have posted, and 
and I am always proud of you--your clarity, logic and good writing.  You 
are a proof that old Bard College made its mark even on little pishers 
even as you and I.  May you continue for another 50 years!

Daniel Pinkwater
