A Fenton anecdote on Jan

Pat Fenton is the nicest guy you could ever meet. I met him at the Allen Ginsberg commemorative organized by Al Aranowitz in Central Park. Pat read from one of his articles on Kerouac in Ozone Park, which is where Kerouac lived when he was composing most of his greatest and best-known works. He told a great story about going to the bar across the street from where Kerouac lived with his mother above the drug store, and imagined Kerouac going there for pitchers of beer. He asked the guy behind the bar if he had ever met Jack personally. "Who the hell is Jack Kerouac?" was the reply.
