Those memories are so precious. Glad you kept everything. It's just a testament to perseverance, without which, I don't believe, anyone can be a success. You nailed it. I have a file with rejection letters and one for a book that went on to sell 250,000 copies.
Wonderful memories. Worked just across fifth avenue from there until 1977. Your tenacity and talent brought you here and am so grateful for your posts.
Pretty cool, Liza. Thinking of the people who worked for the New Yorker or were published by them (or both!) is staggering. I imagine you feel honored to have been among that elite crowd. I would, if I were one of the, but lucky for the NYer, I wasn't.
A joy to read your ramblings of an era when my father came home from work and took up ‘his’ seat in the living room w the best lamp
Hit wrong key. Will finish later this eve at home!
Memories from the 70’s. It was a time of lackadaisical hope for us in the 70’s so much was done in the 70’s the war was over by 74. Nixon was done.
What the hell has happened.

What is your book called? I appreciate your comments.
YES!
Lovely reflection!

Thank you, Patris. And for another donation to the film.
We must have crossed paths on Fifth Ave.
A lot of us were enjoying great rides as the economy and country welcomed us to join in in the 70’s.
I feel sorry it appears now to have been an aberration but am so glad to have experienced that joy
and the lobby looked so similar to mine !
I worked for The New Yorker in 60’s….love these pics! It is still a great mag!
“It took me about two years of submitting 8 cartoons weekly before I sold one cartoon.” — Amazing! I marvel at and am inspired by your fortitude.
Thanks, Philip. And I was lucky, too! Many people--for example George Booth of all people-- submitted for many more years before selling.

I loved this walk down memory lane, the photos, but especially the stories. I must see the documentary.
Hugs, real ones! Ruth
