Dear Garrison, I have just finished reading your piece in The Irish Times on the death of your brother, R.I.P. I just wanted you to know how it touched me as a beautiful tribute to him and also as an inspiration to anyone who has lost a sibling. Thank you for this and for all that you do in offering such rich and entertaining material on NPR and in print. Peace and blessings, Michael Leonard (In the "Windy City")
