A Beautiful Tribute

Saturday 5 July 2008

Mark,

I just finished The Book of Mev and I want to thank you for writing such a sensitive book. I found the book on Linda Panetta’s bookshelf and began reading it, and immediately called the publisher and ordered a copy for myself. I’ve always had a high regard for Mev and your book just deepened my admiration. It is a beautiful tribute to Mev as well as to you. I am sure it was not easy to write, but I am very grateful that you did it.

We probably have met in the past. I think both you and Mev were involved in the Pax Christi Assembly in Santa Clara in 1994. It’s nice to reconnect through the book. I’ve already given my copy away and ordered another. When I get mine back (hopefully), I’ll keep it circulating.

Sincerely,

Bishop Tom Gumbleton
