True to its word, the Pennsylvania Gazette<\/em> published another article on the Committee for Reunion with England in its November 1975 issue.

The photograph was taken by David Gambill in John’s first apartment in Richmond’s Fan District. Above the British flag was a poster of poet T.S. Eliot, which was one of John’s favorite literary posters and thought to be appropriate since the American-born Eliot had famously become a British citizen in 1927.<\/p>\n\n\n
