Nikki Giovanni Letter @ Virginia Tech Special Collections

Dear Kelly and English Department,
I am an English Department Alumni (1990) and Instructor/Tutor
locally of many years. I wrote a letter to Nikki Giovanni while I was in
graduate school and after Nikki's recent passing I wanted to share it with Virginia Tech
and Newman Library. I am going to meet with Special Collections today (2/26/2025) to bring the hand written letter over (from Summer of 1995) and I wanted to touch base with you in the Department as well. Please visit my own archive @ https://projectendofdays.blogspot.com/2022/08/letter-to-nikki-giovanni-1994.html
to read the letter and see a photo of it as well.The letter will be at Virginia Tech in special collections after today.
Thank you for your time and please let me know if you have any questions. 
With best wishes always,

-T. Byron Kelly
