[kj] OT: Bettie Page's funeral

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Thanks Oliver and to you the same. Yes, she did live a hard life. I did not  
know she was in Patton State Mental Hospital for 10 years as well! That place 
is  old and has mental patients murdering one another all the time! Just a 
couple  weeks ago I believe again too as a matter of fact!

Aww,  that is, in its own way, sort of neat. Hope you will enjoy the  
holidays/solstice/yule/etc. well. Best wishes. If you do take the Bettie  
Page pics, I think it would be a very respectful thing to do. She realy  
did not garner enough respect during her time, and had a very hard  life.

Best wishes,

-Oliver
