poor guy! that's just sad.

(as a side note: I had to go back and fix the spelling of one of the words in my post. That may, in fact, be even sadder.)

I think I mentioned this anecdote here before but...
I found a very similar inscription in a book once, but this was a return at Waldenbooks. I was shelving books and happened to catch a glimpse of this heartfelt full page inscription. Sigh... some people.
