I want to thank Mike Fink and the Rhode Island Jewish Voice for the extremely kind article “Native Son Publishes Treasure of a Book.” I have been a fan of Mike and a loyal reader of his articles for many years, but never imagined that I would be a subject – it didn’t take a village, but a book to get there! I have enjoyed Fink’s style of not only getting to the soul of those interviewed, but also interjecting some association with his personal biography into the text – a unique device in biography, used by many well-known authors and journalists. The Voice is a wonderful paper for those of us who, although far from home plate, still remain loyal Rhode Islanders and need to keep our links relevant.
