Back from Texas
Pluvialis and I met in Austin to immerse ourselves in TH White's archives which were nothing less than INCREDIBLE. There are whole books there, one of which Helen is writing and a couple that Tim White already has. Much blogging will ensue, quotes, prospective works, writing profound and brilliant, silly, drunken, honest, hilarious, and fully Terence Hanbury White. I am glad Helen thought of it; I always had the idea in the back of my head but might never have acted. Were we the first researchers in all the years to share White's actual interests?

This makes me SO happy!
One of the first falconry books I ever read was "The Goshawk" and, even though I've not reread it in years, snippets of White's insight always poke in the back of my mind.
What a fantastic idea!
It sounds like a wonderful trip; as a T H White fan waiting for follow up books,blogs etc
Wish I had known! They have a road from Bton Rouge to Austin!
Oh, yes, please write lots about this. I'm terribly happy for you both and envious all at once.
Two of our favorites together at last - in one picture!
