The Van Sluys

Once upon a time, long long ago, I had friends in graduate school who took classes with me. But these friends graduated and became professors and their dissertations became books, like the one you see here. I feel proud to know these authors, but I miss them too. Because now I just work down in the basement. No classes and no other students in sight. An occasional mole or cave cricket my only company. And the pages I hand over to Mitzi are written slowly, if at all. But, getting back to this book, Kudos to you Ms. Katie. Come visit soon so you can be here when we toast you.
