Footnotes
The Lewis Carroll School of Logic would not exist
if  it weren't for  Alice In WonderLand.

I would not be confidently teaching a Logic Class now if I hadn't
read the literature of  Mr. Smullyan  forty years ago.

One of his books is entitled What Is The Name Of This Book.

He is ninety-six years old and still treating logic
like silly putty. I am so damn jealous.

Have a nice day, especially you, Mrs. CarPeo.
