Franny In Glass Land: Nine Salinger Pages (#6)

................................Subtitle: The Footnote Is Longer Than The Quote.................................

I am sick of just liking people.
I wish to God I could meet
somebody I could respect.
J.D. Salinger
Franny and Zooey

FOOTNOTE
In 1969, I etched those words onto a plywood counter-top somewhere in this house.
I was not so much in agreement with what Franny said as much as being alerted
to the galactic difference between liking and respecting someone.
We sold the house in 1981.
