My thank you note to Murray, in folder: correspondence 7/96-8/96

In box 92, marked “Miscellaneous” of the 126 or so boxes in the Donald Murray archive is a folder called correspondence 7/96-8/96 that contains the letter I wrote to Donald Murray in the summer of 1996, a month or so before I left for Iowa and a few days after visiting Donald Murray at his home in Durham.

Box 83 contains a bunch of 1990s magazines, journals that Murray published in, The Writer, etc. Somewhere, perhaps in that bitter piece he wrote in that obscure journal in the early 90s, he says that he won’t be publishing anymore in mainstream Comp/Rhet venues and, instead, placing his stuff in smaller journals because that’s where the real action is….this does appear to have been the case….these journals from the 90s illustrate this. In other words, I shouldn’t keep thinking of 1991 or so as an end of his writing about writing and a shift towards only writing his column. He kept writing about writing, but in other venues, less well known.

Mylinda gone until 6/13

Box 79 has personnel files—I only got partially through the first one.
