so nell -- tribune. so nell got a kick out of the story that i told about ordering a cake to celebrate this achievement from a fancier bakery than i had ever ordered a cake from, they actually delivered it to my door. i didn't really know that was a concept until they told me they would do that. but her name was -- is julia keller. but she would often get julie sometimes. and so i told the person who was, and i was recounting this to nell when i returned the monroeville not long after this at yet another kitchen table, although this was that of a friend, that i had told the people who are writing on the top of the cake that i would like it to say congratulations julia, pulitzer prize, 2005. but i said, now, julia sometimes gets julie, could you please be sure that you spell it with an a, and i don't mean to be a pain in the neck, but could you even read it pack to me. and the fella had quite a heavy accept. i couldn't quite place it, but i wanted to make sure he was understanding me better than i was abl

nell harper and alice offered to service references. i worked it out with a young man who owned the house who had been transferred to another city that i would rent it month-to-month while was on the market. perfect, a place for many live in a way for him to have some income while waiting to see in which month this would sell. you can imagine in the middle of the night i had to fight the urge to go out and take that for sale sign out of the front yard and hide it in his garage. i was hoping it would be available long enough for me to spend a good amount of time there and indeed it was. i ended up renting that house for 18 months from the fall of 2004 until the spring of 2006. one of my favorite things to hear, when i picked up the phone and my little modest but nice red brick house was high, do you have a pot of coffee going and might i come over and talk around the kitchen table? we did that quite often as well as pretty regulars, regulars at mcdonald's for talks over coffee. i remember having to wait for nell harper in the parking lot

that nell gets a kick out of that story. also, i think one of the things i so respected about that is they were talking about their experience was the real respect for achievement as opposed to simply celebrity for its own sake and i think the pulitzer was meaningful naturally for her in some band that clearly was about achievement and not about fame. and also something their father later to see her vcs. i know that gave it an extra level of meaning as well. he died unfortunately before the movie came out, the live to see that achievement and i was something that all those years later, you know, there was so a little spark of pride in that achievement when we spoke about it and when i told her about my friend, the poet surprise. >> there are several poets in the audience, so you need to create a pulitzer prize to be worthy. this is one i don't know if killing of there, but are you planning -- >> i choose to say no comment. >> gilliam through this. are you planning to attend her college reunion next year? >> my goodness, is t
