Kevin, I can just imagine your reaction to receiving that email from him, and I loved your response, especially about the specific ways you used his work with your students. Thanks so much for sharing this story.
Terrific story. His question tells me that he never stopped learning & had a keen sense for the importance of history. No wonder he’s an icon. Thanks for sharing.
I grew up in San Diego and your letter to Norman gave me pause. It took moving away to realize how incredibly conservative , and evangelical leaning, San Diego is. I also had to learn square dancing in elementary school. What a delightful exchange of letters.
As the poet said, don't be sad because it's over; be happy because it happened. What a life he led, and what a great moment for you!

Thanks. I was really floored.
What a great story! I'm sure his curiosity was a big part in keeping him sharp and active into his second century.
I think that's completely right!
