Hey, that’s
me!
It was a true surprise to see myself akimbo over a table
in the December issue (page 48). Though no longer alive
to keep the secret from, my parents would probably be
as shocked today as they would have been 50 years ago
to hear that I cut classes to misspend my youth in the
Reynolds Club billiards and card rooms. Very worthwhile,
though. As I’ve often remarked, my first two years
as a Chicago undergrad taught me how to live well beyond
my station in life.

When I came to the December issue’s
back inside cover, I found that the middle person in
Stephen Lewellyn’s “Ida Noyes quartet”
is ME. Imagine having my image represented in your pages
when I was, in 1946–47, perhaps the worst student
the U of C ever tried to educate. Most likely, I was
socializing at Ida Noyes, instead of in my Spanish or
Math 101-2-3 classes. I can’t really remember
the names of my co-socializers but I think the one sitting
on the floor was Norma Carson. Can that be right? Anyone
know who the others were?

I enjoyed reading the “Retrospective”
of Stephen Lewellyn’s photography career (December/02),
especially when I saw the picture of him getting ready
to shoot my wedding on January 28, 1967! You may appreciate
the picture he took of us that was on the cover of our
local paper two weeks later.
A slight
correction: Mr. Lewellyn was leaving from his studio
at 107th Western Avenue, not 82nd Cottage Grove. He
would never have made it from the Cottage Grove
address!
