Bill, thanks for supporting my writing, and it has been a lot of fun to travel with you to AWP in Atlanta, attend the Postgraduate Workshop in VT., and also the local N.C. Writers' Network Conference, not to mention seeing you on occasion at the North Carolina Poetry Society where you have done wonderful work. Because the world is a busy place for someone like yourself with all your interests, some of my favorite times have been when you have been a guest in my home, or me in yours where we could talk of our love for poetry, flowers, and food.
I am proud of all you have achieved in your own writing, and appreciate the joy you bring to the world by being such a great person who gives so much. I don't believe you'll ever have a dull moment. I see you poking your nose in flowers, bringing in ripe tomatoes, playing your harmonica, peering at your dictionary to learn a new word. Let's continue to learn together. I hold my glass of wine to you, and so often see your face.
