With summer here again (although in Michigan is it really summer?), it’s time to renew the search.
I’ve begun writing the book about my search for Artie, which has morphed itself into the story of Artie’s search for himself, and his undying love for his first love – Mary Moskowitz.
Unfortunately I still haven’t met either Artie or Mary, but I did find information that shows they were both alive as late as December 2003. Which was a surprise because I had heard from others that Mary had committed suicide, but that info was untrue.
Maybe someday we’ll all have the chance to meet them.
What started out as a personal journey to find the man behind the letter I’d found in a used book, has become nearly an obsession to find this very intriguing man. I have acquired some remnants from his past – including the journals he kept, a ton of love letters he wrote to Mary throughout the years even though as far as i can tell they were never in contact those many years they were apart, and a picture (presumably of Artie as a young boy -probably around age 10).
Anyway this summer I’ll be posting mostly about the new information I’ve gathered, correcting old misinformation, and sharing the journay of writing the book.
Hope all are well!
