We are greatly saddened to hear of the passing of our friend Wendell Berry. Mr. Berry was always delighted to help with requests from Black Swan and often visited us when he was in Lexington. It is difficult to lose an individual one has known for more than forty-five years. I am certain Wendell will remain in our memories.
