Alison posing as a Buddah.....

hardly a Buddah, although she exuded an air of "wiseness" and intelligence, Alison was uninhibited, eccentric and creative....I met her around 1969-70, when she arrived here, from Pittsburg, to live with her good friend, and mine, Jerry Isikoff......within minutes, she was naked.....This was her persona....the naked Alison.....She, Robert Norton and I went to Boulder to deliver a set of furniture to Maxine and Bernie Taupin, one summer, and we stopped by to visit with her brother.......She and her brother got naked, immediately! Oddly enough, I think her father was a Christian Scientist minister.....she died a couple of years ago, from a combination of health neglect and bad habits like heavy drinking and smoking and drug indulgence.......yes, hardly a Buddah!
