Hi, George! How are your pearls? Did you have a good day? I had an extremely lazy day. It felt good! Tomorrow the fam is going out to dinner for my brother and sister-in-laws 30th anniversary. We're going to a place called Otium. Don't know anything about it as my nephew found it.

Happy 30th to your brother and his wife.

I looked up the 5 star rated Otium. If nothing else the plates of food should be atteactive. I expect a report on your impression of the restaurant.

Is that a collective sigh of relief I hear? I thought so.

It was from me 😊

DR Elmore, a lovely tribute to your friend.

A very nice obit, too.

We must never forget to treasure the good people in our lives.

There's an error in that obituary. She was not in the ROTC sit-in, although much of the theatre dept. was. She and I were in a dress rehearsal of a tedious production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf when another grad student, Joe Haggard, slid into the aisle where we sat to tell us there was a riot going on at the ROTC building. The three of us ducked out of the rehearsal and walked the block to the riot. The smell of tear gas was everywhere, and it was madness. The sit-in had begun in the early afternoon. It was a Friday and the law for state colleges was the buildings were closed at 5:00 for the weekend. At 5:00 the students were asked to leave and no one moved. The Columbus government said to get them out and lock the building and the campus police called the redneck Butler County Sheriff who arrived with all their riot gear and itching to put those hippies down. Long-haired men and women were dragged out by their hair, maced, and thrown into paddy wagons. When they ran out of wagons they brought in U-Haul vans and packed the students into those to go to the county jail in Hamilton OH.

The students who fought back or escaped the building were joined by friends, etc. outside the ROTC building, rocks were thrown, the sheriff retaliated by tear gassing the mob, and that's when Pam, Joe, and I arrived yo observe. Our eyes were burning so badly that the three of us ran into the nearest dormitory, found a public restroom, and washed out our eyes. I remember taking off my T-shirt and getting it soaking wet for Pam to use as a mask. The riot finally broke down when the Butler County Sheriff turned police dogs loose on the crowd. The dogs chased the students off campus and into the Village of Oxford. A fraternity boy, sitting on the fraternity's porch, was attacked and mangled by one of the pursuing dogs. The bloody towel used in getting him to the hospital was hung as a banner on the fraternity porch for weeks.

A week later, the students were shot at Kent State.

Joshie just called to tell me to stay home. He didn't say it, but I know he will accomplish more if I'm not there to distract him. I will try to do laundry instead.

Printer still doesn't have the hardcover in the system and I have now threatened to pull all nineteen books and take them elsewhere if this isn't handled first thing Monday morning because I have basically had it - someone needs to pick up the phone, call the printer and ream them out for this taking three days to show up in their system so that we can actually place the order. My gal is in today, but nothing will happen today, but she said come hell or high water, it will get dealt with Monday and I've written to the top guy, too. Once it's in the system it takes a day to print and they know they're overnighting everything to me.

Ate a small sandwich consisting of Carando hard salami, a slice of white onion, Gulden’s spicy brown mustard, and Black Bear horseradish sauce for an extra thrill. Freihofer’s white bread (it’s what was on sale) did the honors.

Like I said, a small one by my wolf-‘em-down standards. Should have made two. Better yet, an additional half would have been just the ticket.

Today is the first anniversary of the death of Pam Hollenbeck, one of my dearest friends for 49 and 2/3 years. We met the summer of 1968 at Miami University Summer Theatre, where I was in the costume shop and she was handling tickets and publicity. In September we were grad students, enduring good and bad classes, good and bad productions, the 1970 anti-war riots, and lots of parties, silliness, and playtime with the other grad assistants, her husband Paul and their Irish setter Brandywine. She was a fantastic mother to four lovely girls, and I was godfather to her second child, Emily. After graduation, she and Paul moved to Syracuse for his second degree in architecture before ending up in Toledo, where Paul's firm did really well and Pam stayed busy with liberal causes and education.

Paul's cousin is a retired actress who was in the film Serpico, and he was in Manhattan two weeks ago. We met for a drink, talked over old times, and wept for Pam. I asked him if he had thought about dating or remarrying. He said, no, he had married the only girl he ever dated, and they had been very happy together.

That's very sweet, Larry.
