When we lived in the trailer, after the bankruptcy,
Brenda slept in the second
bedroom and I had the master bedroom
for a writing studio. By this time I had
a small, desktop computer,
although I wasn't on the Internet yet. Brenda didn't
like the roaches.
She also didn't like Granny Brown coming in unannounced, without
knocking,
to make sure we weren't having wild, screaming sex with each other,
on
the couch, in the absence of parental supervision. It was in the trailer
that
I learned that Patrick Kelly died. He did the covers of Screed
and Evil
Genius. Jack Neff did Open Book. He's dead now too.
I looked up Jack
Neff in Google and got a hit on Peter Jenkins,
Walk Across America.
He visited Jack and Karol at Penland.
He also did The Untamed Coast: Pictures
and Words About
Rare People and Rare Places Along the Edge of America.
