But the best was yet to come. I had gotten to know Henry while unsuccessfully searching for my father's poetry, and I now had skills I hadn't had in the beginning. Because of learning to search out poetry for Henry, I was able to go back to the search for father's poetry, and this time, my husband and I were successful. In the files of the University of Chicago newspaper we found a poetry column my father ran, and in that column my father courted my 17 year old mother in poetry, and she answered him in kind. Astonishing. And for all of it, I could thank Henry. So perhaps Henry and I have done something for each other.
