I think people still visit his gravesite on his birthday. Funny, I still keep the rejection emails. Haven't deleted any of them.

Totally believe in keeping them, too. A valuable reference point, especially once the sting has worn off.

Love it. I've read every post now and just ordered your book at my local bookstore yesterday. I'm in full Stan mode. So glad to connect and looking forward to your next post!

Also, some food for thought: Since the Stone Cold Stunner is a "move" and not so much a hold or submission, I've always thought of someone being "hit with" the Stunner rather than being "put in" the Stunner. Semantic, but something to consider for future reference. :-)

Amran, I'm so grateful! Thanks so much for reading and for getting the book. Will you email me so I can get your address and send you a book plate?? P.S. There's nothing I respect more in a person than extensive wrestling knowledge

Will do! Very thoughtful and gracious of you. There's clearly a link between Poe and pro-wrestling. Perhaps the germ for an upcoming post?

Also, I just shouted you out in the On Substack thread today. Hopefully you'll see some new subs coming your way!

You’re very welcome! Thanks for reading. Talk went well. Me and a room full of kindly retirees, the best kind of crowd.

Dear Catherine,

Who's counting ?

Poe transcends time, if not space.

How did it go ?

You know, it was a small crowd but a great crowd. Lots of fun, lots of questions. I'm always really thankful to get to do these things. Hope your week's been good!
