Your dad was always so good about proudly bragging about you, I'm glad you checked in!

And we said "HI!" right back!

I was just thinking about Will Pitt yesterday.

How nice to have your granddaughter for an entire month.

i wonder how many more of us at du were thinking of him lately

Truthout. I remember Will was one of the first to welcome me to DU. There was never a dull moment when he was around.

How old is she now?

Please enjoy your time together and let her know how much we hope she enjoys her summer break. Her Father had many friends here; her Grandmother continues to do so, and we'd love to hear of her adventures.

He had such a great gift with words. I was fortunate enough to meet him when he came to Seattle to work on the Kucinich presidential campaign. Heartbroken at his passing, especially that he left his beloved daughter. Great to hear from you. Sending love to you both!

May your upcoming rendezvous with your cherished granddaughter be a splendid tapestry woven with the threads of joy, laughter, and boundless affection, painted in the hues of delightful memories and heartwarming moments that shall forever linger in the corridors of your soul.

I corresponded with Will a ‘few’ times over the years, decades, gone by.

I vividly remember thanking him for one of his books,
And his response to me.

Miss him, and his insightful commentary.

(i landed here nov 2004) and we were hanging out in the lounge writing some weird little stories

i have no idea what triggered that memory -- but there it was.

have a wonderful time with your grandgirl (here are some suggestions for fun things to do: summer carnivals, summer fairs, pool/beach/swimming, late night movies with buttered popcorn--take turns picking out the movies, ice cream sundaes/turtle sundaes, pancakes for dinner, pizza or cold spaghetti for breakfast, a museum or two, music on youtube -- take turns picking out the song for the other to hear).
