Daniel,

I am a soon to be zoology major at the U of Washington (though better defined by my enjoyment of eating, learning stuff, and being in the middle of nowhere). From before I can remember I’ve been reading your books, and I think I’ve now read them all. You’re my favorite author/God, followed closely by Tim Cahill and Kurt Vonnegut. Anyhow, the purpose of this letter is that I’ve always wanted to talk to my hero, and thought I better do it soon before I leave for Marines boot camp (I’m doing a reserve program during college), and am just curious what you have to say about anything.

Daniel replies:

Yes. I have this to say: When they tell you your hair will grow back...that is USUALLY true. Good luck.
