Pen and Ink Drawing

This drawing is over thirty years old. I almost never talk about it. The only person who knew about it died a few years ago.

When my father died, it felt like there were all these people trying to pick apart the pieces of his life and claim some of it for themselves--the worst being the Resolution Trust Corporation, which was determined to ruin anyone involved in Unifirst, including my dead father.

One night at Scrooges, I penciled this on the back of a menu, then took it home and inked it. Since I've decided to tell the truth about many things, maybe it's also time to include this. Maybe it's childish to work out your feelings with a doodle, but there wasn't anyone I could talk to about it then.
