jeff: always thrilling to read you – and you’ve stories that even i didn’t know! “caveats:” rosamond probably told you her husband was an albanian “prince” – he was albanian, brilliant & worthy but not a prince. as much as we’d like to believe that anna was jack london’s lover, we have no evidence of that – either annectdotal (sp?) or written; you might like to add that the naacp openly recognizes that her husband – my grandfather – was THE original founder of the naacp…and instrumental in the creation of our labor laws – child and other.

jeff-
Absolutely loved The Box! Best book on tv ever written. This film clip was amazing too.
Loved the bizarre Philco/Mutual camera… never saw that one before. Keep up the great work.
Sincerely,

Solidarity forever!

We need unions more than ever now, but they’re disappearing and we must bring them back.

Hi … question for Jane; is this Harry the one that married Claire Snitkoff?

Jeff:
A few weeks ago, I was recalling your excellent chapter on the Strunsky family in You Must Remember This, and wondered if there were more material on them. Well, here it is! Really this material deserves to be more widely known and it’s moral : lasting art is made possible by free or cheap real estate!

Thanks for these lovely recollections of Emily, which I came across because I was trying to figure out the family’s San Francisco connection. My grandmother and her sister (Lillian and Helen) were Emily’s first cousins, and when their mother died they were raised by Masha and Albert. So to me, beautiful, charming, warm Emily was always Aunt Emily though that wasn’t technically correct Anyway, again, thanks!

Jeff,
This is so chockablock with goodies it’s scary. I think my favorites are the pubic hair and the McCarthy ceremony. What a bygone era. It’s like reading about before there was electricity.

Talk about burying the lede — that PS is worth its weight in email gold.
