I was raised in Greenwich Village during the beat era, attended college in Portland, Oregon during the Hippie era and loved both of them.

Hi Peter, Thanks for the add. I do not know if we've actually ever met, although I know Steve used to talk about you. He was fond of you, loved PSGW and all the folks there. I enjoyed my one summer there (two summers ago) and perhaps I'll head out that way again some day. Best wishes for wonderful holidays. Arlene
