No. CLXXXVII - Mata Hari, the immortal name by which is known the Dutch dancer & courtesan-cum-spy Margarethe Zelle (1876-1917).
The Girls of September '79
I was friends with Mrs. Sacramento (née Never Girl) for a year-and-a-half, from her return home to the Ann Arbor suburbs after graduating college a semester early to her departure for graduate school in the Bay Area. At her request, because she was new to the Golden State & lonely, she invited me to visit her in Berkeley. Once my usefulness as an antidote to isolation was at an end—once she forged new, more local friendships—so was our acquaintance. A valuable lesson that, one for which I am grateful despite the bitter taste. Happy birthday, Lindsay!
