"Look what I Found"


A paper butterfly found among the papers and personal effects of Walt Whitman. Probably 1860.

Let us choose our heroes wisely. Walt belongs on the short list.

Uncle Walt is one of the very few historical figures that I'm pretty sure I'd want to not only meet, but be pals with.

All the others so many of them beside their recorded virtues were probably first class shits. Having been in show business of a sort for 30+ years. I can tell you personally "...'Never' Meet your Heroes."

"They are both crazy, and full of shit".
