I’m not surprised you thought of it - the credit is yours. You mentioned Hellman in the February discussions, which brought a flood of memories back to me. And a few hours of pleasure, as I went off to reacquaint myself with her. So thank you!
( PS - sorry for adding to my post after you replied. Rewriting is a bad habit of mine. It hasn’t mattered much, if a letter hasn’t been mailed. But I guess posting needs a better protocol.
