    Very nice story, Dick — and movingly read.

    Do you read much Tagore? I have a Bengali friend and the tradition of literature and story telling in Bengali is quite extraordinary. I am off to India on Wednesday, for a week — to plan the trip of my students in Jan/Feb. Not Bengal, however, but Mumbai and Pune.

    All best,

    Phil

      thanks, Phil…It was poignant serendipity…I volunteered to do an international collaboration never knowing about Tagore or the subject of the story. Then I read it…uncanny,

      Turns out my mom had a volume of Tagore’s stories and poetry in her collection.

      Amazing,

      appreciate your listening,

      Dick

    A voice made for radio. Golden. The Steve Winwood of Libravox.
