Details of Cecilia's relocation to Chicago forthcoming, forthwith?
You all know I was once from Texas. But when I traded in my Texas
Driver's License for a liberal northeast edition, I was made to vow
never to speak of Texas again. Nonetheless: hail to the new
Austinites on the list. It's a fine place.
I've also vowed, somewhat more voluntarily, never to speak of JDS on
this list again, but just this once: the JDS estate wrote cease-and-
desist-styled letters to Ursinus last year, shortly after we
announced the JDS creative writing undergraduate scholarship. We
ceased and desisted, as requested, and as of today, we still haven't
got around to finding a new name for the scholarship. Any
suggestions? It's 4 years X a big pile of scholarship money, plus
the privilege of living, for the first year, in a dorm room that was
probably occupied by a certain fiction writer who went on to win the
hearts of punk teenagers and sophomore English majors everywhere.
The college president briefly considered changing his name to J. D.
Salinger and naming the scholarship after himself, but the idea was
short-lived. What do you all suggest?
Matt
