We met at Florida ...Joe was among my best friends. We met at Florida and continued our friendship in San Francisco. I was honored when I read the manuscript for "The Kryptonite Kid" the first time and found "my" name in it. Fictional me was a female school tattle-tale in the book. I read all his work in draft form before it was published. "The Edible Variety" was rewritten several times, once as a cookbook! Joe could write anything and indeed he turned "Kryptonite" into a play which had a short run Off Off Broadway in the East Village. The theater was a long "railroad flat" storefront and the audience was seated in long narrow rows along one side. This would have been OK in normal circumstances, but the climatic scene involved a blackout and an actor having to move the entire length of the stage (room) in darkness making noise. It was no "special effect" and it ruined the performance. I also recall several other house glitches during performance. Joe wrote that script with a collaborator, although I no longer recall that person's name. Joe kept a file of my writings and that was included in his papers saved at Stanford.
