>Fellow Pynchonauts,

Hmm.. reminds me of a 1000 Homo DJs song (nevermind, y'all :)

Dunno if it still exists, but here at the library where I work (Miami 
University, also quite close to where Pynchon Notes was/is published), 
there is/was (tense exercises, anyone?) an issue of Pynchon Notes with 
the photo of Our Boy as he appeared either late high school or early 
college; endearingly geeky.  If someone (Dr. Krafft, mebbe, and if it's 
kosher for me to scan it) could tell me the issue, I'd be happy to go and 
dig it up.
