Mr. Cornwell,
I missed your University of Hartford speech (Which is crushing as I live in this damn state) and I was in Maine probably the summer after you did your book trashing (justifiably) Paul Revere.
I was listening to the song "Arthur McBride" yesterday. After all these years it struck me that perhaps you too were listening to that song when you came up with Sargeant Harper's last name. Were you?
Stay well and keep them great stories coming!
Tom
I was not! Harper is named for a friend of mine in Northern Ireland.
