Today in history

My parents didn't get me either the monkey or the bike I wanted for my birthday, so I had to keep borrowing my sister's. This was difficult, as they were inseparable.

Fortunately I had a great life anyway.

Her granddaughter Alfia Vecchio Wallace remembered Hahn at her funeral: “Chances are, your grandmother didn’t smoke cigars and let you hold wild role-playing parties in her apartment. Chances are that she didn’t teach you Swahili obscenities. Chances are that when she took you to the zoo, she didn’t start whooping passionately at the top of her lungs as you passed the gibbon cage. Sadly for you... your grandmother was not Emily Hahn.”
