Dear Hall Family.

In September of 1965 I was a freshman at UVM and was lucky enough to have landed in your mother's (Mary's) English class.

I was a student of Robert Hall's in the 70's at UVM. He was a wonderful teacher. I'm sorry to read of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
