Eliot. Perhaps the most important poet of the the 20th century. There is a lot of information out there about him-- thousands of books about him, critiques of his poetry, analysis of his plays. Even a dozen web sites on the play CATS based on his book Ole Possum's Book of Practical Cats, still running on Broadway today.

Timing is everything. How many times have I heard that? Saturday was a good example. I took my 85 year old Aunt Lillian out for a ride to the area around Leonard, Minnesota ( near Clearwater Lake).

Overwhelmed by his charm and erudition Faber offered him a directorship. Eliot was a director for forty years.
