In 1988, we had a wonderful employee at the Drama Book Shop, Spencer Cox, who left us after a year to go back to Bennington. His favorite playwright was Chris Durang. On the morning of Spencer's last day, I called Chris and asked him if he would mind coming into the shop and signing a couple of his play collections. Chris did, I introduced him to Spencer, which made his day. I then purchased the books Chris had signed and gave them to spencer at the end of the day.
