Jonathan Santlofer. He came over to show us another neckless he made for Joy's birthday. He hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch. So Cathy made him a hamburger and I made him a fried egg. Jon often skips meals.]]> Jon brought back the paints he borrowed, and he brought Cathy some color slides of Lulu and Noodles (their cats) for a pin she is making for Joy for her birthday. They also brought back our slide viewer.]]> They had dinner with us— sauerkraut soup that tasted like my grandmother's cabbage soup. Then we went to the Alliance of Figurative Artists to hear a panel discussion. On this panel was Philip Pearlstein]]> painter, Theodore Reff]]> art historian and Lawrence Alloway]]> critic.]]> Joy borrowed our slide viewer for a job interview.]]> They stopped over for a visit.]]> He brought us some steaks and fish fillets. Neil's friend Fred got them from where he worked. He also brought a Bette Midler album of Warner's for us to hear.]]> Jon wanted to show us a neckless he is making for Joy to see if we liked it.]]> I think he may have been a lawyer for Joseph Cornell's family.]]> He is in my studio.]]> 1973-02-21 (roll date, image #18), Jonathan Santlofer, Joy Santlofer]]> We went to Rosemary to see her newly finished paintings (which were very good) and the four of us had Kentucky Fried Chicken and Rosemary made southern potato salad and sliced tomatoes & lettuce to go with it. David and Rosemary took us home.,Previously in caption: 1974-07-09 (roll date, image #16)]]> We had been meaning to invite Vivian to dinner since she was here to interview Cathy (see entry: October 15, 1973). We made a Chinese dinner (they brought a very nice French wine). We had shrimp toast, lemon chicken, beef lo mein, and dry-fried string beans. All of the recipes came from Virginia Lee and Craig Claiborne's Chinese Cooking, except for dessert, steamed honey pears, which came from Gloria Bley Miller's article in Gourmet magazine.]]> Rosemary came over for dinner and stayed the night. We had crab and shrimp salad stuffed tomatoes and deviled eggs. The temperature has been almost 100 degrees for the last few days.

When we got back to the loft, we found one of the kittens that Jon found living in the gas station next door covered in motor oil. He probably fell into a vat of some sort. These were feral cats, so the kitten was very hard to get ahold of. We chased it for some time until I caught it by throwing my jacket over it. We took the kitten to the vet to see if it could be cleaned and treated. He became the lovable Jeffy and lived with Cathy and I for many years.]]> Alison came for a visit and had dinner with us. We had pork chops in mustard & cream sauce, zucchini, salad and our last jar of poached pears (from September 1972, that we had done up from Cathy's parent's pear tree) with whipped cream.]]> Jon had breakfast with us, and then I left for work. Jon went on some errands and then came back from for lunch with Cathy. He's been having lunch with Cathy a few times a week while he is working on their loft.]]> More work was being done in their apartment (not their loft) so they needed to escape. They were upset about problems involved with their loft.]]> She came for a visit and had dinner with us.]]> We all had brought in-dinners together (I am not sure if this means we ate take-out) After dinner, we played poker and after that went to a Dairy Queen in Hoboken, which was kind of tasteless.]]> They stopped over for a visit. We talked about their trip. They are going to Europe on the S.S. France and flying home. Neil got them bursars receipts from NYU so they could get student cards and travel at student rates.]]> Somewhere between June 10 and June 13.]]> I had shown Xavier my slides and he expressed an interest in seeing my work. They wanted to see Cathy's (Catherine Murphy) new painting. They are her dealers. Xavier and Donald arrived at about 9 a.m. and we all had breakfast — fresh orange juice, mustard eggs and a German coffee cake, that I made. Jutta Anse gave us the recipe. She had once made it for us, and tea. Jon also had breakfast with us (see next entry). I had to teach, so they drove me to Port Authority on their way back.]]> He had breakfast with Xavier Fourcade and Donald Droll and us (see last entry).]]> They came over for dinner and with dinner. Neil brought us Mousaka and tossed salad. Mary, who works with Neil at NYU had made some for a dinner party for Dr. & Mrs. Hester (the president of NYU). So she made extra. He brought tuna fish salad, cauliflower, brie, camembert and cheddar cheese, chicken breasts and hamburgers. He also loaned us $50,]]> They came over to take showers (see entry, Jon and Joy, June 1, 1974). They are staying at Kathy Katzman's (Joy's sister) apartment in Manhattan while theirs is being worked on. They didn't get to take showers. They loaned us $70 for our health insurance.]]> Congdon and Bari came over sand we all went to the Cuban restaurant for dinner. First, we served them wine and cheese (brie, that I brought home from NYU Friday night) and crackers. The Cuban restaurant was terrific. Bari and Congdon treated us to dinner and loaned us $50. After dinner, we came back here for dessert. Cathy made a cake.]]> Their bathroom at home is being fixed so they came over to takr showers.]]> He came over in the morning and had breakfast with us.

Then Jon went to do some errands later in the afternoon he came back and loaned us $50.]]> Jon came over to borrow a large piece of wood (4' x 8') to use as a barricade for their cats, Noodles and Lulu, while some work was being done in their apartment. Cathy and I went back to Jon and Joy's and visited for a while.]]> In the morning Jon and I went to the laundromat and shopping. Jon locked his keys in his car, so I went back into a store and broke the handle off a paint can, and we got the window open with it. We had lunch at our house (leftover curried meatballs). After that, we went to Hoboken to look for a loft for Jon and Joy. We walked for miles. Someone in an antique store told us about a specific loft. On the way home, Jon and I stopped at that loft and talked with the owner for a long time, and it seemed that it might work out. It's a small loft building attached to a larger factory. Jon and Joy would have both floors. -- May 21, 1974, Tuesday, Jonathan Santlofer. First, we went to city hall in Hoboken to find out about zoning for the loft. The zoning turned out not to be an issue. Then we went to settle with the loft owner, and Jon gave him a check for the security.]]> When we saw Martha Earlbacher last (see entry Martha Earlebacher and Jonah, January 10, 1974), she suggested that Cathy (Catherine Murphy) should try lithography and gave her the name and number of the man ( Gil Einstein) who was publishing prints for her. Cathy got in touch with him, and when the details were worked out, he gave her the name of a good printer in New York (Martha's printer is in Philadelphia and anyway will be away for a year). Paul Narkiewicz is the printer that Gil recommended, so Cathy and I went to see him. He came over today to bring Cathy a Lithography stone. A friend of his, Chip (who is also a printer and lives in Newark), drove him and his son Jason to our house.]]> When we all got back from Chinatown (see entry, "Jon, May 17, 1974").

We (Jon, me, Cathy) waited for Alison and the all met Joy at her workplace, then to Chinatown to Lin's garden for dinner.]]> Alison Beall posed for Cathy (Catherine Murphy - for the painting titled, Alison Beall) She the had dinner with us. I had to eat something different because that day I had the last (of four operations) of my perio surgery (gums) at the Jersey City Dental School.]]> They came over to bring me my birthday present. A terrific t-shirt Jon Made. It had a drawing of the sculpture of Gertrude Stein by Jo Davidson in the middle and A Rose is a Rose repeated in a circle around it, drawn in dark blue on a light blue ground.]]>
