     @texhewson ~ He has always been in my library. Will Rogers and him practically raised me through their works. Thanks for the comment.

     @Pierrette @bmacDonald94 I think because of the school connection I'd filed him away with Chaucer and Shakespeare. Also, there are all sorts of lessons in there I don't think they wanted us to learn. But now, well, wow!
