It's obviously an interesting site and story...that being said, I'd found out some time ago, esp. also in having glanced at the biographical films based on the life of Capote, that, apparently, the character of Dill in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird was evidently based on Capote...if one watches the biographical films based on him, I believe there were two, though I can't recall which was the relevant one, he's depicted as having gone with Harper Lee to the site of where it all happened in Kansas, when he initially went out there...that obviously has nothing to do with the story of the notebooks here, of course, I just thought all of you might perhaps find those other aspects of interest, that was all, honest...not that I was ever esp. partial to the writings of Capote, myself, it was just that I'd expect just about all of us were expected to read the Harper Lee novel in high school, as well as most likely have seen the film where Gregory Peck was apparently based on her father, in addition to having seen the character of Dill...a good many just apparently, I've also gathered, were unaware that Lee and Capote knew one another as kids, and that she'd apparently based the Dill character on him, which, of course, I only learned of much later, as I'd said, just figured might be of at least some general interest, if nothing else...the story of the notebooks was certainly of interest, as I'd initially said, esp. that his wife, from what the article had said, had been trying to throw them out in a garbage can, evidently, the son having found and preserved them, I did find that aspect of especial interest, certainly, if nothing else, you know?

Thank you for the excellent share brother Chip
