Aaron, I agree with Chris. I read your piece last night. A beautifully nuanced portrait that could certainly bear expansion into a short memoir. I was drawn in, and I never knew the man at all. I like the way you make his prickliness seem OK (almost!) in a larger human framework. And the thumbnail sketch in the second paragraph is awesome. I can just see that 19-year-old you in shock before a "snapping turtle!"
Thanks so much,
Charlotte
