Dear Percy-L:

This weekend, June 5-7, in St. Francisville, LA, marks the occasion of 
the second annual "Walker Percy Weekend: A Literary Festival Celebrating 
the Acclaimed Novelist's Life and Work." For general reading, the 
festival's website is available at
http://www.walkerpercyweekend.org . A fine Percy portrait and quote 
adorn the homepage.

For those most directly adventurous, you may enjoy putting on your best 
Bayou waders and jumping right into descriptions of the festival's 
activities, panels, and other sundry Southern "Goings On" by visiting 
its full schedule at:
http://www.walkerpercyweekend.org/full-schedule/
Bourbon or mint jullep flask recommended.

Any and all Percy-L members attending the festival are invited to share 
a personal follow-up report with our listserv community.

Also of note is a recent short remembrance of Percy noting the festival 
in a web posting by former Louisiana Secretary of State and Insurance 
Commissioner, Jim Brown:

All Best Percy Wishes,
