Hi Sara;

I saw the show last night and loved it! Very funny, full of twists and turns, and of course tres witty ala U of C! I particularly liked the way our here was able to run for mayor and get instated on the ballot even though he had been away from Chicago for years….He always meant to come back! Anyway, it was quite fun. I am a neighborhood friend of Bill and Sasha Schmidt, who told me about it. Had quite a hoot and plan to make it an annual tradition!

It’s this weekend, right?

Break a leg!

Agree that he was very lucky to go that way.

I first read the Spenser mysteries about the time I discovered your first mystery–in the early 80′s. How fortunate to have read both VI’s and Spenser’s exciting stories all these years!

I only met Bob Parker once, but like most lovers of the noir detective, I admired his work. Although I’m sad that he died, I’m glad he got to die with his boots on, so to speak–the death we all hope we will have, engaged in something we love doing–not in a hospital, attached to tubes and whatnot.

Did you know Robert B. Parker, author of the Spenser mysteries? Sad to hear he’s gone. No more Spenser and Jesse Stone mysteries.

Sounds like a good time! Just wish I could attend, but it’s a little too far to travel. Don’t suppose there’s any chance of you posting a little video of your singing?

Wow I am so impressed. Not only are you a talented writer but also an actress and singer.
I hope to see the Quad when I go to my daughter’s graduation from U of C next year.
I received the U of C mag and read it from cover to cover.
Love reading the Alumni News especially.
