What a wonderful silver lining there was to this pandemic freeze on travel. It meant that the Willa Cather Spring Conference had to be done online this year. I could never have attended otherwise. It was such a gift to get to see old and new friends and colleagues holding forth, and to get an update on the work of the artist who is doing the larger-than-life sculpture of Cather that will take its place along the one of Chief Standing Bear in statuary hall. His name is Littleton Alston and he will be the first African American artist represented there.
