?I hope to hell that when I do die somebody has the sense to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.? holden

I hope that is honored = do you know his arrangements?

He was so real. And his younger pics show a striking look about him.

91 - I think I need to re-read the book in his honor.
