Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

[Mike Frentz <mfrentz_2 AT comcast.net>]

Rhonda, Nikki, Marcus,

Thanks for your replies.  There doesn't seem to be a connection from

I actually just stumbled across Lonergan myself and it's not like Percy 
had a populated Internet to graze on.. :-)

Best,
Mike
