Thank you for this beautiful piece. Tom has been a major inspiration for me as a human, as a lover, as a storyteller. Only after his death am I learning he was once a Vermont resident…as someone currently living in VT, I’d truly love to find out where. Any clues?
I sat next to him when he won some kind of literary achievement award at the Oregon Book Awards. He told me it was basically the "You're nearly dead" award but he made it for years after that.

I saw Chuck wrote about his death. I've never read his work & am drawn now. Thanks for sharing
I’d love to see that photo of all of us.

What a beautiful testament of the love of one writer for another. I wish I had gotten to meet Tom.
