Last year on this date, the anniversary of Alice’s death, I posted a blog emphasizing the importance of Alice’s middle initial. If you’d like to revisit it, just go to March 2010 in the Archives.
This year, thought, I would like to keep it brief and simple with a tribute collage I once made. On this date it honors the woman who helped Gertrude Stein be Gertrude Stein. The photo is followed by one of the hundreds of love notes Gertrude sent to Alice.
Baby looked so pretty with a big hat on
lovely black hair,
Baby looked so pretty with no hat on
lovely black hair,
Baby looks so pretty with its little head
and its lovely black hair sleeping sweetly
on its hard pillow,
Baby looks so lovely, precious baby, baby
looks so lovely precious precious baby
