Julie Vognar) A drawing of two buxom, pretty naked girls, with "Paper doll" clothes next to them on the page. They were made in Chicago by a fairly famous art group called the "Hairy Who." The reason I'm sorry I lost track of them is: they hung in my mother's bathroom, and my daughter, visiting her in La Jolla at the age of 3 or 4, got her first look at naked women from them. "So THAT'S what I'm going to look like," she thought. She mentioned them after my mother's death, but nobody has seen them.
A Zeta Beta Tau fraternity pin from the University of Chicago, with which I was intimately familiar till I was about 8. It's a nationwide Jewish fraternity, and my father belonged in the '20s. My mother had it. It's a finely detailed skull (about 3/4 inch high), in white gold or platinum, with ruby eyes, and a slender chain attaching the skull to the letters "ZBT" also in white gold or platinum, studded with tiny diamonds. My parents were divorced when I was 9, and I had neither seen nor thought of it, till a couple of days ago.
Never found nothin' in no attic. Someone once sent me a large box of '68 and '69 Topps, but that's a sad story...
