Curator's Comment
Jon Grabowski met his future wife, Erika, at a bagel shop where they both worked. Erika’s roommates recalled her describing meeting “a tall, good looking blonde boy” and Erika summed up her first impression: Jon was the smartest person she had ever met. They loved the same books, and she loved his long hair, which he usually wore tied back with a hair tie. After landing a job at Marsh & McLennan Companies, he cut his hair but not his passion for Beat Generation literature, even naming the couple’s cat Kerouac.
