[edit] The OTO
<<But according to meeting records of the OTO he was iniatiated into that order their sister order the AA by 1950.>>
Can the person who added this please fix it to read like a regular sentence?
[edit] Clarification of "chronic episodes"
"There is photographic evidence of Harry Smith's large paintings created in the 1940s, however the works themselves were destroyed by Harry himself during a peak of one of his chronic episodes."
- Chronic episodes of what? Perhaps someone knowledgeable on this topic could supply that answer and update? For now, I have removed that part of the sentence, as it seems to be understandable that way. —PaperTruths 03:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

- It was undiagnosed at the time the paintings were destroyed, I believe it would be termed some sort of mania or psychosis these days, but I'm not a doctor and Smith's physicians are mum on the matter. This may be surmised by the act of destruction mentioned within the same sentence.

- Thank you for catching that and pointing it out. I read that sentence and did not even notice the error. I will look this up and see what I can find. --Charles 03:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Harry and Exotic Plants
Though I cannot claim authoritative knowledge of Harry's entire history, we were friends from 1975 until his death, spending a fair amount of time together while he was resident at the "beautiful" Breslin Hotel on Broadway and 29th Street. During those years, he never seemed to have the capital to conduct any kind of drug dealing venture, though he did smoke regularly. It was a ritual of scavenging sad bits of herb from little crumpled bindles and the bottom of an ash tray, salvaging twigs as often as the the tiny pinches of shake, that were all I ever saw him holding. Further, his character did not seem to me, to lend itself towards commerce, as is suggested earlier in the passage from which I have excised the undocumented suggestion regarding his ostensible drug dealing. If this was a practice that he indulged in before we met or when I wasn't around, I simply can't accept that it was a significant part of his otherwise crazy and compulsive life, and more importantly, even if somehow true, anything but a significant reflection of that life. -Eric Solstein 03:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
