Edlin Story

When I was a junior in high school

I had a friend, Jamie Edlin, a Jewish

Fox, she was a senior, and we just

connected intellectually personally,

you know….she was a good friend.

I visited her in Ladue neighborhood

of St. Louis….meaning money…we

went to a buffet at the Jewish Country 

Club which was fabulous….she had a 

sister, Laura,  I fell in love with something

about her…I think it was her tits, but, I’m

not sure. I visited her once at Vassar…

we slept in the same bed, but it was just

friendly. I went to her theatre class and

did something onstage. I heard much later

she attended St. Louis University…had a 

nervous break down. That’s the story.....no

that's not all...one time, at Carleton I finished

a radio show high on LSD,  then, hopped 

on an airplane to St. Louis to visit Laura. 

Ended up in a beauty parlor with her mother

who picked me up from the airport. I slept

on the chairs in the waiting room. Later that

night, I couldn't sleep, went for a walk in Ladue

and the police picked me up, took me back 

to the house where, they woke everyone up 

and  embarrassed the hell out of me.
