<And a fine daughter she ended up.>

What a powerful, moving, and poignant story. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

I was reading the Boston Globe this morning - piece about J.D. Salinger and how the his neighbors in Cornish N.H. looked out for him and protected him from hundreds of visitors sometimes offering mis-directions to reporters and fans wishing to meet him.....and thought of you...it goes:

"The writer John Updike once praised Salinger's short stories for the 'Zen quality they have'. Salinger himself might have appreciated how the best approach to spotting him had the paradox of a Zen koan. If you did not go looking for him, he was there. If you did, he was not."
