To be quite frank with you, I was fascinated by both his writing and his biography and also what I read about his son, which I came across for the first time while reading what was written about the father. It raised a lot of questions; more than anything that was written in the first post -- which is usually the case with me [g].. It is my age, you know... Thanks for the link.
