Uh, Janet, I'd be truly excited to hear Colin Dexter SPEAK, had he not already passed on.

Colin Dexter dead? I don't think so. He just spoke at CrimeFest.
Perhaps you're thinking of his character Morse?
Oh, Janet, that's got to be the most embarrassing thing I've ever done! I wasn't thinking of Morse, but of Dexter. They both had/have diabetes. And I read somewhere that Dexter quit the series at least partially to watch his health. Then someone told me he had died. I was very sad, but didn't bother to check.
Mea culpa! Everyone at St. Hilda's should treasure that moment.
I'm so glad, though, that he's still around.:-) Friends at CrimeFest told me he gave an excellent talk. Not surprising, of course. Thanks for checking back. Wish I could be at St. Hilda's.
