Dearest Courtney, this is surely one of your most inspiring narratives, coming at a moment when such inspiration is desperately needed. At over 80, among your oldest admiring readers, I'm increasingly proud to have been your teacher. You are surely at your best when faced with crises, as you were when we faced a tragic series of student suicides during our time together at Barnard. Now you bring not only your brilliant insight to a critical situation but your whole family's engagement. The collective commitment to this cause is awesome. Congratulations on this continuing activism.
Finally, thank you for leading me to Lauren Sandler's "This Is All I Got." It's a heart wrenching, eloquent testimony to another urgent problem, that of homelessness in NYC, a place that we both know well. As we protest the scourge of racism, we must at the same time keep our devastating epidemic of poverty in full view. Sandler's book renders this problem inescapable. Dennis Dalton (DD)
Your brilliant gift for expressing what lies in my heart, mind, and soul so beautifully is greatly appreciated. Thank you for stepping out there and saying what needs to be said. Much love to you and your family.
Beautiful. A beacon of inspiration when I really needed one. Thank you. xo
Thanks Nation. Love you.

Thank you DD! You are a central part of my sensibility, my way of seeing and making sense of the world. So this writing is you, too. Love you.
This is incredible. Thank you for saying exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it.
NEW STORY🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
i'm in
At some point, the old stories just don't hold any longer. Thank you for showing us what it means to be open to a new story...and writing it.
Thank you. Just thank you. At nearly 70, I resonate with you and it raises my spirits.
