James Salter

Godspeed, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Rest James, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

His works burn like a great star in the heavens, its field of radiance utterly resplendent. To read and reread James Salter has given me such exquisite pleasure. I think of him now, somewhere in the mists, soaring alone, resolute.

I live and work in Uzbekistan with special needs orphans. James Salter's writing always blessed me, his use of words was incredible and lifted me out of the challenges here and reminded me that there is beauty that touches our hearts. For that I will always be grateful. I hope in time his journal will be published or portions of them.

A wonderful writer and a graduate of the Horace Mann School, in Riverdale,the Bronx, New York, he was one of my favorite writers.

My favorite author, a man I deeply admired. I wrote him a letter once, saying as much, and I recieved a note from him that I cherish today. My condolences to his family.

His life and work meant more to me than any person I've ever met yet I never met him.

Kay, Theo, Family.
Such a splendid life we celebrate!
We are thinking of you all.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Jim,
You were always a friend to my grandfather, Robert Phelps. Your letters were a light in his life, filled with prose that was near poetical it was that luminous. I am grateful for the friendship that you shared with him, for your humanity and thoughtfulness, for remembering and honoring him as a fellow man of letters. Blessings to you and your family.
Yours,
Doria Hughes
