Dear Rose and Children,
I have fond memories of Bill who was in my class in Hilton Village and Morrison High. He is so very talented, and I have all of his books. I enjoyed seeing him at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco a few years ago.

Love, Virginia Boyd Coletti

To the Styron family:
My deepest sympathy and thoughts and prayers are with you. Mr. Styron was one of the greatest American writers. Even though I enjoyed reading all of his books, Sophie's Choice was my favorite.
