I love your references to F Scott Fitzgerald........I wrote my thesis on him. I got all these short stories from the library (remember the library??) from the Saturday Evening Post. I don't believe they were ever published in book form!
What a writer. He captured me on the first page of my first novel......I think I was in 10th grade.......it was Tender is the Night.......then the next was The Great Gatsby; and on and on.
He is still my favorite author of the twentieth century...not "the best" but, by far.....my favorite.
by the way, I love seeing his handwriting. I have never seen it before! My godmother must have copied it! Yikes! Almost identical......and I have never seen the likes of it!
was it my imagination, or did a beautiful post simply vanish from here !

I enjoy your wit and insight.
