She was a good person who had a husky dog. You were allowed to have a

out. She was one of the dog people. She eventually moved back to Florida.
One of the things I did when I lived at the hotel was invite people I met in
the lobby up to my room and sort of interview them, ask them about their lives.
One man I invited up was named John Cram—a member of a very eminent fam-
ily, and he had an indentation in his forehead, as if his skull were made out of
Play-Doh and someone had pushed their thumb into it. How he got it was, he
went to Africa as a graduate student, an anthropologist. The natives there threw
a spear that stuck in his head and had to be removed. The hole was a remnant of
his having a spear embedded in his head. He was intelligent, but he talked kind
of slowly.

John Cram was a resident for many, many years, a very, very wealthy guy who
had a hole in his head. He woke up one day and didn't even know how he got it
But he wasn't very artistic. He was much more of a financial person, involved in
the market. He woke up one day, and there it was, a hole in his head!

I'm telling you, the Chelsea was full of Dick Tracy type characters. I think this
guy John Cram was German. He was very strict-seeming. The dent in his fore-
head made me think, “Oh, shit!”
