Sag Harbor

Update #12 · Nov 22, 2011 · comment

We had a great trip to Sag Harbor on Long Island this last weekend.  We interviewed Joe Pintauro, who helped Algren get settled in Sag Harbor in 1980 and, sadly, arranged his funeral in 1981.  We also interviewed Suzanne McNear, a writer and former editor for Playboy and a long-time friend of Algren.  She gave us the badly needed woman's perspective that we needed so badly!

We are ready to start editing--stay tuned for more updates.  And go to Montrose Pictures and Facebook for more information!

Michael is interviewing Joe in the cemetery in front of Nelson's grave--it was a stunning weekend.
