I was in Parnassus when I was on a business trip your first year in business. It was an awesome store then and now so much bigger. I hope to get to Nashville again and Parnassus is the first stop. Don’t ever stop doing the things you all do!

Willie Morris came to read at my tiny liberal arts college. He was friends with one of my professors.
