If She Were Still Alive, This Page Could Not Would Not Exist

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Imagine moving three thousand 

miles away from home...

and the first paycheck you receive 

is from one of your heroes.

Only to be followed by a second payment from her.

Then she takes the fruit of your labor
and shares it with the world.

If only the decimal point 

had leapfrogged to the right!

I had arrived in California on May 25, 1981.
Joan, if your estate requires it,
I will remove this page forthwith.
My eternal love for you is strong enough
to make Mrs. CarPeo jealous!

HOWEVER...
