<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Arial><span style='font-size:14.0pt'> Greetings.
Just so there’s no misunderstanding, I thought I should reply to this: “How
fortunate for you that you knew Glenn.” This is not the case, and I apologize
if I gave that impression (though I’m not sure how I could have done so).
Are you perhaps thinking of another biographer, Peter Ostwald? (He knew GG
slightly in the late 1950s, and kept contact with him occasionally over the next
20 years.) Or Geoffrey Payzant? (He also knew GG, over a similarly long span.) When
GG died, I was 19 and had never heard of him before, so I quite definitely never
knew him personally; I “know” him only through the magic of Looking
Stuff Up. Kevin Bazzana<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
