    Is Kinky Friedman any relation to Alton's own Blinky Friedman (of the late 50's)? Is Kinky an Altonite? If not, why not? Can we make him an honorary Altonite? He certainly has many of the attributes that we "prize." Any man who leads a group called "The Texas Jewboys" can't be all bad.

    I have just received a telegram from ?Blinky? Friedman, now living in exile somewhere on the west coast, which should be of interest to all Altonites. Although Blinky acknowledges that he ?is familiar with? Kinky Friedman, he will neither confirm nor deny any relationship. Further, he states that he is willing to meet Kinky ?any place, any time? in order to ?straighten things out.? He says that they have "strong ideological differences.?

    Blinky specifically mentioned that he would be in New England in mid-June and would be willing to match wits and ?anything else we can think of? with Kinky. ?Bring it on!? he says. It sounds as if the gauntlet has been thrown. I suggest that the Annual Dinner Committee invite both Kinky and Blinky to the June gala. (We can pass this off to Kinky as a fundraiser for his Texas gubernatorial campaign).

    guide Blinky to Chicago this August, the place and month of the next Peace Corps Conference [of Returnees] which KINKY often attends? [I too {I-2} have ideological differences with Kinky - and undoubtedly in the opposite direction from that which separates Blinky from Kinky.]

    Many Altonians live in the Chicago area. Surely we can find an arena there [seating 13909] to view the match and jeer on our favorites.
