Below is a brief newspaper article about two high school students in Covington, La., who were awarded this year?s Percy scholarship and award at their school. Percy evidently visited classes at St. Paul?s Catholic School. Congratulations to Walker Dubreuil and Joel Rodriguez. Wouldn?t it be enjoyable to have them post a story or literary writing to the list? Best wishes, Henry P.

St. Paul's presented two awards in memory of writer Walker Percy, who visited campus to teach writing skills within the English classes. The Walker/Bunt Percy Scholarship went to Walker Dubreuil, and the Walker Percy/Brother Bill Parsons Writing Award was given to Joel Rodriguez. https://www.nola.com/news/communities/st_tammany/article_b7559e82-c28b-11eb-afb5-6702229808fa.html -- St. Paul?s School Homepage https://www.stpauls.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Can you imagine being one of those students who were taught by Walker Percy? I wonder if they had any grasp of how cool it was, or if he was just Dr. Percy, that writer fellow who hangs out at the Waffle House? Gosh, I wish I had been in one of those classes! But if he wrote on the chalkboard, I imagine not a soul could read it! If you?ve seen his handwriting you know what I mean! Rhonda Sent from my iPhone On Jun 13, 2021, at 1:41 AM, Henry P.

As I suppose many of us who are not academics did, I read Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, War and Peace and Anna Karenina in the days of my youth, and not since. Three years ago, for no reason I can actually discern, I picked Crime and Punishment off the shelf to take with me on a business trip. I was overwhelmed. Surely the book I read in 1970 as a junior in college, playing softball and drinking beer, was not the same book I was reading at 10:30 P.M. in a room at the Parker House Hotel on Tremont Street in Boston? Of course, it was exactly the same book. I was just not the same person. Since that shock, I have done the same thing with titles such as Brideshead Revisited, Jude the Obscure, The Magic Mountain, Ulysses, Catcher in the Rye, and a couple others, some after an absence of fifty years, some after an absence of only half that much. In every case, the rewards were massive. I pretty much have Percy, along with Virgil, Dante and Eliot, on ?regular repeat,? and I still find something new in them every time. I suppose Percy would call it a rotation or a repetition?as much as I love the novels, some of those things still confuse me, thereby proving I am not nearly as smart as I think I am. So thanks to Janet and Rhonda for reminding me, and surely others, of the joys of drawing water from familiar wells!

Charles I envy your ambition. Since my time now is spent dancing, when I am allowed, (very seldom of late, but I am hoping we will get back to normal), going to the theater, (ditto), and loving performances on video, which I will happily give up for the real things, I don't seem to find the time or ambition to reread great books. I admire you, Chuck for doing that. So I cheat and listen to the Great Books podcasts of Hillsdale/National Review. I also have taken many Hillsdale courses. They are fabulous. I can't thank you both enough for these beautiful notes of yours.
