Tad was my student back in about 1975, and he wrote the funniest parody of Yeats I've ever read. It was a pleasure to teach him, and I'm so sorry he died long before he should have. Rest in your lively, amusing, pleasant way, dear Tad.

What a wonderful first boyfriend you were, and how much you meant and still mean to me. I will always remember Maine summers. Will love you forever, Taddy.
