psychoceramics: Kooky endeavours




 From the recent _News Of The Weird_, this example of human motivation:

    * In June, the Iowa State Historical Society finally opened long-
    embargoed boxes of self-published, highly-detailed,
    autobiographical journals donated by a not-particularly-prominent
    architect named Charles Remey, who died in 1979 and who was
    apparently obsessed with making sure the public was not denied
    his life story.  In describing the collection, a Des Moines
    Register writer wrote that one of the volumes, "The Wardrobe of
    Gertrude Heim Remey," Charles's wife, was "quite likely the
    best book ever written about his wife's clothes." [Des Moines
    Register, 6-7-95]
