Ghetto daze jooz i have known

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Clark,

The first and last joo I met in Ghetto Daze was a tall
thin one at parties. I heard him referred to as Superjoo
since he was tall, as tall as Ed Guinn, but thin. I think
he must have been at UT for only one term since he
soon disappeared. I have forgotten his name.

I dont think he was the same as your sock artist guy. Does
anyone remember Superjoo?

There was another joo around then, actually a joo-ez,
this was Sandy Lockett's first wife Anita. she once was over
for dinner with us in the 70s or 80s it musta been when
we were living in a bungalow at the end of the street in
Clarksville.

she mentioned then having been or her intention to go to
a Seder in Oak Hill and I had a fit of uncontrollable
laughter, the notion seemed so counterintuitive

now it is more different. Frances Morey has a delightful friend
named Ala. She is a Russian woman from Baku and has
lived in Austin for many years. She said to me recently
there are 5000 Russians now living in Austin. Really, Ala,
I expostulated. Where is/are their church/s? I asked here.
She replied 'they're all jooz.' (she isnt herself but she sure
must know the Russian scene).

Different from 1963 that is.

Mike

Phil the Jew,  a sock salesman without equal. I saw him last in 1967
after he had setup a mens hosiery display in San Antonio at a shopping
area with original art work. He left the three paintings at a house
Carlyn and I had on the thirteenth hole of the Brackenridge Golf
course, where he usually stayed when in San Antonio.

He left the paintings for some reason and the next time I spoke to him,
over the phone, he said keep them. Then he related a long story about a
black, singer, model, girlfriend getting him busted for pot in Dallas
and how he had to leave the country quickly because he was out on bail
and had no plans for jail at that time. Phil claimed to have painted
all three pictures, one is signed by him.

I think Phil Demers was curiously mentioned on list once. Here's what I
found out, and I don't remember how I found Norm Shearer but he musta
been about Fontaine's age judging from the experience he recounts. I
must google up Phyl Zycon, ur, Phil Zycon.
