The Book of Addad: pages one thru four, as revealed to Hersh, confirmed by James Magee and translated by Horace Mayfield in the Spring of 2009, illuminating Hersh's conversion to the Church of More-or-Less which happened in a flash on April 17, 1953, when Hersh was walking by the pickle factory on his way home from school and suddenly his eyes were filled with oceans of water followed by acceptance of all that greater than himself, including ants, poison ivy, stingy dogs, large horses, love and the absence of love

Note to Mom: Dear Mom, I've worked hard, I've taken care of the house and have watched over you dad as you had watched over me, But I've finally found someone special. We'll call you once we've settled into our new apartment. Please understand. Still children burn like fire then fly away. Love, John W.	Frame with magnifying glass detail
