—Clarence Day
Clarence Day was the main character of the great Howard Lindsay-Russell Crouse family comedy, “Life With Father,” that ran on Broadway all through the dark years of World War II and inspired tens of thousands of theater-goers to remember American life as it was and to leave the theater with the hope that life will be this way sometime again. This quotation from Clarence Day, as I recall, was framed poster-sized in the entrance of the library at Andover, and it has remained with me for more than 50 years. Why do I write books, read books and buy books? See Clarence Day above.
