Default thanks again

really enjoying these! Burdick obviously had a pre-disposition to "checklisting" things as it was apparently the ordered approach he took to his own life - although reading about how this and that was in forever in transit seems to have been a bit frenetic. I imagine he was at times inundated with similar correspondences from a multitude of interested parties and he still managed to keep it "together". I also appreciate the tenor of his assessments and the focus he had - willing to listen but the captain of his ship navigating unchartered waters. That we are here today and still discussing the vagueries and minutia of our beloved cards as well as the man himself, stands as a testimony to the direction and paths he took as well as to the man himself.
