I...To Barry Lindon Evans, thecybermuse, &c:<br /><br />I'm the editor of The Palindromist magazine, and I'm working on an article about JA Lindon, Howard Bergerson and Leigh Mercer titled "The Greatest Generation." They were the 3 best palindromists ever and close (virtual, via mail) friends.<br /><br />I am interested in Barry's book, any other writings by these men, and especially in information about them as people. For example, work. Howard told me (before he died) that Lindon ran a shop or grocery store with his sister for a living until a lorry smashed into it. Did he marry? Etc. About Mercer, we know almost nothing.<br /><br />You can reach me via the web site below, or at info@palindromist.org.<br /><br />Also, Howard gave me what he thought was a previously unpublished palindromic poem by JAL that you might be interested in.<br /><br />Thanks!Mark Saltveithttp://www.palindromist.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959816182918710038.post-16353605180312072822011-03-23T09:23:57.818+00:002011-03-23T09:23:57.818+00:00Sorry!

I am curious to know why there is no collection of all of JA's writing published, as it would be a fascinating work?
