Comment on DAVID holdt: click on this by Gerry Husted

Can you give me David Holdt’s email or forward my email address to him? I am a very old friend and we have not been in touch for many years. Before David went to Watkinson, I was a colleague of his at Hotchkiss and Westledge. In fact David is godfather to my son, David, who was born in 1968 when both D Holdt and I were teaching at Hotchkiss.

thanks…

Gerry Husted

hi chas,

i sadly missed david’s retirement because of several family obligations requiring travel in the previous weeks. reading your speech made me remember those days in writer’s workshop and realize that much of my world has been shaped so much by david. thank you for that. hope you’re doing well.

hi chas–
didn’t have the pleasure of meeting you on june 7th, but wanted you to know that in the fall watkinson news we will be listing your website and the fact that others can see your blog entry on David here. Hope it will still be featured by then :-)

thanks for your eloquence and your commitment to David, and in turn Watkinson.

You made me laugh. You made me cry.
You made me very, very glad that I passed up the Hillary Clinton step-down speech to hear your Holdt tribute on Saturday instead.
We’re facing college tuition bills that are staggering these days and every now and again the thought crosses my mind that we COULD have / SHOULD have taken advantage of West Hartford Public School System and we’d be in a lot better shape right now….But David Holdt was large part of the “Why Watkinson” for our family. I went on Saturday simply because I was thankful. You made me more so! Nice job!
Go Sox.

Chas,

Great thoughts/writing. I remember you voicing some of these opinions during our phenomenal discussion on Saturday.

As you may have noticed, I’ve taken your lead and joined in this conversation known as the BLOGOSPHERE!

I haven’t written anything yet, but when I do my words will bow in comparison to your mastery of the English language.

Kudos.
Not that they need any more money but we all need to do something to support candidates who have intelligence and integrity.
