An unexpectedly poignant tribute to John Hughes

Flame-Haired Angel and I reckon The Breakfast Club was the most broadly embraced statement of our teen generation. For good or ill. It's creator, John Hughes -- once a name associated with a whole genre of film -- died last week. On a random web walk, this morning, I came across this tribute written by a woman who, as a teenager, had an extended pen-pal relationship with Hughes. It's humbly extraordinary. Sincerely, John Hughes
