No mention of his Silas Ermineskin stories, which I like better than his baseball fiction.

I was sorry to hear this. I used to work in the same town where he once lived and would see him at McDonald's in the morning, drinking coffee and reading the paper. I never had any interactions with him, but the regulars would always say "Hiya Bill."
