I was a friend of Ted and Alice here in Chicago/ We went on some amazing adventures together. From driving range golf, to Female Gay bars, the Kerouac Fest of 82/ where he told the ticket master I was his lover landing me a first row Swami seat, next to Timothy Leary, Gregory Corso, His time spent in Chicago was precious. A street mentor with a Scorpio wit. Blessings TJ-20
