Tosh, I was devastated by your experience here, as it has happened to minor degrees with my own Andy Warhol experience(s) made public. I have always strived for invisibilty, to remain on the sidelines but sometimes found myself being revealed without my consent. Yours is a far deeper violation, and I have passed your blog on to the first of an empathetic group of friends who might be able to support you in this outrageous violation of privacy. Scott Hobbs, who is head of the Cameron-Parsons Foundation, put me in touch with LISA JANSSEN, a lovely woman who has been working with him to place Cameron's work in a proper, permanent home; she is also involved with the legacy of Renate Druks. I think you may be hearing from her soon. Please allow me to serve as a conduit, though my contact list has been severely diminished in the 8 years since I moved to Louisville to be supportive of family in the wake of my mother's passing.

I would appreciate my comment to remain private, as I am besieged by hackers from all parts of the universe (And, WHY? I do not have money, power or influence in my KY isolation).

Tosh, we are such kindred spirits. Please know I am with you all the way. I feel your pain.

With Love and Fortitude, Susan Pile (AKA ANONYMOUS...,susan2pile@me.com 9/8/2023

Thank you for your kind thoughts and words here Susan. The WB estate is in good hands, we're talking about a fellow who got ahold of some items legally, I must add. Instead of coming to me and perhaps offer a finder's fee, he basically tried to charge me more for the desired items. Technically they don't belong to me. I could have participate in the auction and paid more, but I choose not to give any money to this individual. I learned a lot here, and realize I'm a lucky (old) lad.

What a mess. It’s so crass that it makes me angry as well. I do sen tons of empathy. And yes, HOPSCOTCH is a fantastic book! Hang in there.
