Dear Student

Well, I was surprised. I did hear from my old professor. It was a very long and thoughtful response, the tone quite friendly at the beginning and at the end. He was trying to pull me toward his way of seeing things, which you would expect of course. But there was respect and true dialogue. I don't expect to change his mind at 72 years of age (my estimate). But at least we can talk reasonably openly and and perhaps even disagree agreeably. That's saying something.
