The book “Life as Art, The Club 57 Story” is not perfect and short. I apologize if I did not write about you. If you were a Club 57 member or a fan add your name, experience and feelings on this page. You can do it for your own satisfaction, for your friends and family or for the larger internet audience. I invite you to be part of New York history! I want to read your comments and feel your soul, heart, and mind.

I just received the following letters:

Dear Stanley,

How are you? I finally got your great book. Thank you for the kind words and the tribute to Bruce Paskow. You have an honest and direct writing style that

I value.

I often think of those days with you at Irving Plaza and your kindness, enthusiasm, humor and love of life. We send you our thanks and love.

George Laraque and Michelle

From the Shakespeare, THOUSAND THANKS CARD:

Hey Stanley - I think of you often.

Thanks for Club 57!!!

Then what was wrong with me? Why didn’t I marry her?!)
