Thespionage: I meant it as a surprise to see that seen. The love in her eyes and the gentle touch on the shoulder is one of those wonderful shots one rarely can capture---her true feeling.

I mentioned it to her in a 1996 interview I did with her--her comment was to the effect that it really captured the moment and was glad I noticed it.

As to Lee Hays----there is a wonderful book by Robert Koppelman about him and all the other things he did in his life---Sing Out Warning SIng Out Love--The Writing os Lee Hays.

Lee Hays was a wonderful essayist and short story writer. Also a longtime contributor of mystery tales to Ellery Queen magazine. He won a few awards in that area. He was, as many of you know, also a singer of children's songs and one album featured a young Alan Arkin.
