HLS Letters
HLS correspondence to Cornelia, 11-15-81, regarding whether she should attend the wedding of JAS coming up on December 30:". . . you are one of the minority of people your age who have worked out a life of considerable enjoyment, great independence, and considerable contribution to other people. This achievement, in a population of mostly failures, is very inspiring and makes you a very desirable role model for young people who are really pretty fearful of being old. In a word, you have succeeded in making being eighty-something attractive and feasible to these twenty-year-olds. No wonder they badger you with requests for your company."
