If your parents have been living in st pete, maybe they have some intellectual friends to pass along. I dont know anyone here yet, and would like to meet some other bibliophilic old geezers. Please ask them if they know of anyone I might be able to meet to go on museum or bookstore toots with, or just hang out.

Thank you so very much. I (and my new shelf) are very appreciative.
