For some reason, I didn't do so well in the class. The events of 9/11 made me ADD; I don't even remember doing a paper.

reader, reserved readings.
I collected and annotated over 60 pieces of folklore from informants in Portugal, Ireland, and California. They are in this blog and also in the Folklore Archives, Kroeber Hall, where Ishi once lived. I loved this class, I never wanted it to end. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with Alan; Neil was a special pet of Alan's, so we spent many an hour jawing in Alan's office. Neil called him Papa Dundes. Alan's heart was big as the world. WWDS has become my motto.
If I hadn't gone to Portugal right after 9/11, chances would be pretty good I would've dropped out of school. I was a bad state, no focus, no stamina, etc. So maybe this class saved me.
I eventually plan to transcribe my class notes, so this is a placeholder. A reminder. —MH 11/2015
