Here is the diary entry for August 11, 1969 from Richard Grayson’s new book, Summer in Brooklyn 1969-1975, a collection of his summer diary entries arranged in chronological order by day, not year.

I finished reading City of Night. It’s a beautiful book. I found the ending scene with Jeremy very touching. Why can’t dogs go to heaven?

I got the pictures back today – a few of them didn’t come out. I don’t know why photography interests me – maybe it’s that moment frozen in time forever.

I saw “Goodbye Columbus” & thought it was very good. The theater was pretty crowded. The wedding scene in the movie were so true to life. I think the message of the film is to decide for yourself what is right and what is not. But what if you’re like Brenda Patimkin or me, and aren’t sure?
