Dear Larry,

I graduated HS in 59 (Hollywood, Fla), spent three yrs in the Army, flunked
in and out of several colleges and finally graduated from USF in 67 or 68 I
think.  What I recall most fondly was helping to build the USF golf course
with a chain saw and finding arrowheads which my then young son promptly
lost.  You make me chuckle  -- yes all the lit professors seem now to be
more interested in politics and post modernism than in lit. -- or at least
more interested than many from the philosophy and political science
departments it seems!  That ought to stir our friend,  Wade!  Wade is our
Percy-L resident Gonzo journalist and all around good fellow from the
political science dept.

Cheers,
Jim
