Will Pitt! Please write Andy's biography!
In honor of Andy's Election, his story needs to be told. All of his hard work, and all of his tragedy. His life was a moving, powerful story and his dedication should be honored.

You are probably the most passionate yet objective writer I've ever seen. Having also been a close friends of Andy's, I can think of no one better to write it.

I know it would be a painful task to relive the heartache, but it might also be theraputic for you, as well. If you can't bring yourself to do it, I can certainly understand.

But I beg you to consider it, at least.

1. Beg to differ.
How about someone who stayed his friend for the entire time he was sick instead of questioning him about his illness? You have been taken in by the grandstanding of a hack.

Great Aunt of Triplets would be a far better choice for writing her warm, genuine memories of a truly great man.

2. IIRC, Didn't Andy accept Will's apology?
It would wonderful if Great Aunt of Triplets collaborated, though.

3. He SAID he did.
But he was terribly hurt for the rest of his life. Don't believe the hype.

4. I think Pitt's writing skills make him an excellent candidate. Either way.

Dear John,

I logged in on my wife's computer, this post erroneously made under my handle 'reprehensor' by my wife, 'fudge stripe cookays'

She must now re-type it under her handle.

Sorry for the confusion.
