The Lynch family in red, white, and blue for the 4th of July, circa 1964 (I’m on the right). Dad goes after Mom with our new electric knife.

My desirability assessments of the stars of TV’s Happy Days. Dad sings “Look to the Rainbow” in the Irish Room, St. Jude’s Port o’ Call show. Vicki Lawrence wrote me back! There is no Volume #2. I did not like his singing. I did not write a letter asking when he would sing again. My poor little conflicted self! To the manner born. “Jane is fine. Chris is fine. But Jane and Chris are trouble.” John Carr hearing confession in Man of La Mancha. Seein’ witches as Mary Warren in The Crucible. Hugh in the blue shirt I wish I’d kept. It looked better on me.
