I worked with Glover Davis, first as a young undergraduate in the early 1970′s, at which time Glover advised me to pursue short story writing, but later when I became a graduate student, Glover encouraged my poetry writing and helped me in countless ways. He was my MFA Project Advisor from 1992 – 1994 — and a good friend. I just wanted to thank him publically for his integrity and sincerity as a teacher and mentor. My name is Edd Williams.

Good stuff…I intend to read Braver’s book on the JFK assassination. I have researched it extensively, and it comprises a significant part of my own work (see below) on the CIA and its despicable doings post-WWII.Tim Flemingauthor,”Murder of an American Nazi”http://www.eloquentbooks.com http://leftlooking.blogpost.com
