Dear Patricia,

He truly is an extraordinary person.
He resides outside Charlottesville in Louisa, VA, for most of the year.
But I believe he is in Phoenix, AZ until about April, where he stays with
his daughter during the winter months.

If you'd like to contact him, let me know and I'll see if I can contact him
in AZ.
I'd like to do this cautiously, of course, as he may not yet be ready for
lots of public exposure.

But THANK YOU for showing an interest in him.
He is like a father to me, and I know to at least a couple other people who
have known him.

Do you live in Charlottesville?
I'm in North NJ, but lived much of my life in Northern VA, near Mt. Vernon.
VA is a great state!

best,

Michele
