Neither Here Nor There
By Effie Traylor-Parkes
Our love, deep and true, went on for forty years and I know that Pete, the man I loved and who loved me, would want me to write about our love. He would say: The time has come. That is what he would say if he were still around to lovingly advise and edit this work as he lovingly supervised all of my work. Many people, indeed everyone who had the good fortune to know him, admired and treasured Pete. They knew him as a brilliant, courteous, reserved gentleman, a famous, sacrificial laborer in the competitive publishing world. But they didn't know him as I did, know him as the passionate, far from reserved, fun-loving man in my life. We were not husband and wife; that could not be because of a wife around for fifty years.
