Russell Kirk: Knight Errant!

SEE HERE I met Russell Kirk only once, shaking his hand at the Elizabethtown Conference on the Shroud of Turin. Kirk was one of the organizers of the meeting and sat on a panel that discussed the shroud in the light of the speakers at the conference which represented all the major players pro-and-con authenticity. I would have liked to know Russell Kirk better, but for that I have only access to his books and papers and the reflections of his friends.
