Dear Hildie:

 

I caught an NPR interview yesterday with Steven King. What an humble, nice person. I’ve always gotten that sense from him. He puts on no airs at all, just does his thing, and is very modest about it. But that’s what I call a real professional.  And I appreciated his comments about Harper Lee’s latest story—He rightly says that the way she portrays Atticus is not as a racist but as a Southern moderate of his time. And King is from Maine! Kudos for his knowledge of the South!

 

Well, on to another scan. Take care.

Love,

M
