Some dozen family and friends joined Niilo for his 83rd birthday party on Sunday. Joan baked a delicious spice cake in the shape of a train (of course!) for the occasion.
Folks shared their stories of meeting Niilo and Joan and a good time was had by all…Niilo not very awake. We think they fed him too much birthday cake for lunch –He’s been more awake at other visits in the past 2 weeks.

Dear Joan: Remember the copy of Lynd Ward’s GOD’S MAN, that you thought you lent me some thirty years back? The book has been republished and a very nice slipcased edition of all of Lynd Ward’s woodcut-novels have been issued, with an introduction by Art Spiegelman.
Thinking of you all up there, and hoping Niilo is comfortable and happy, and that you guys
are maintaining. I’m writing some poems, and cleaning out a fantastic house full of old books, this week. Happy happy happy touching these beautiful old thought-packets, these portals to the imagination.
Shalom, all you….
