Hey, Karen,
Larry Powell here, ex of the DMN...
I just finished reading your Peter Beard recollections — that's the most fascinating story I've ever encountered. It really shows the connection, the inspiration, the appreciation. What a great job (to use an old newsroom term!)
It's making me think — not just admire the presentation. So, of course, I'm totally envious.
And very appreciative!
Thank you for writing it all!
Larry
