Wow. Thanks for that! What a shame we don't get to hear the rest of the story.... but that's the way life is. (I still think about the children in my classroom in 1969, my first year as a teacher; I wonder what became of them.)
I am now imagining this meeting as a First Encounter by Edward Sorel and Nancy Caldwell Sorel, with Cather about twice as tall as Capote, looming over him. :)
