...film stills with the help of young Howard Mandelbaum (who now owns Photofest, a premier stills outlet). Irving was dead, but Paula still presided at the front desk, and her son Ira Kramer helped out.

Turns out it was never meant to be, because when I spelled ‘embolism’ as ‘embulism’ (the speaker mispronounced it, I swear), the bell rang and my career as a competitive speller was D-O-N-E, with a capital D.
