Hello Jerry,

Glad to have found your site. I like you sculptures.
I had emailed you direct about a piece I wanted your thoughts on.
I’m wondering if you received it or not.
If you got my email I’d like to know what you think.
I’ll keep checking this site also.

Hello again Jerry. I have watched Grey Gardens so many times I cannot number them. I am interested in the complex dynamics of the two Edies’ relationship. I have often wondered why young Edie wore a wedding band on her left hand. Do you know the answer to that? When do you think your book will be ready? I really like this website, it is nice to have someone to discuss the Beales with who actually knew them. Thanks so much dear. Melody

Wonderful! You know you had a tremendous life lasting experience in your youth, and it is a very compelling story! I mean every one has heard your story from LITTLE EDIES lips in the film, NOW you can tell your story AND their story through YOUR lips with your perspective.

I think if it does well you SHOULD think about a follow up book, You could describe your life AFTER GG and how it comes full circle in the Twenty First Century as you reconnect with Al Maysles, and the Play and all the fans OF the Beales on various groups! I mean you could even throw in the oddness and bizarreness OF some of those folks as well as the deeply irrational reactions of what I like to call “The Montauk Monster” I am thrilled for you Bro! We really will have to get together for lunch or dinner sometime! You know Ted was always someone I enjoyed reading on the net but never really wrote to, don’t know why, but lately I have really come to like the guy! (Not that I DIDN’T before, but just had no real back and forth there) Hope you all are enjoying the end of summer and beginning of Fall in beautiful New York City! It seems like fall here today, a nice crisp bright fall day! Love it!

Sean my dear friend,
This book is going to taake the reader on m a jouney through my past at Grey Gardens.
It is very important that the reaader feel , see, through my words what I had lived.
It begins at Mr.Geddes estate and the first day when I finished my chores and rode down one narrow road.
Im at the point now where we three kindred spirits are living with under the same roof.How I loved the sound of closing the great front door, and throwing the latch to the outside world.

Jerry, do you plan on including any of your adventures in the Middle East in this book, or are you saving those for another book?

I think they would be interesting but might take away from the Grey Gardens theme of the book.

Oh Dear Jerry thank you for writing the book you spoke of!!
I cannot wait to order and read it.
I can completely understand how you could love Mrs. bouvier beales. She was so kind to you. I got the impression that she was a good soul.
In one of the scenes I saw on youtube,little Edie spoke of you with affection. So I think those scenes probably were shot after the original as it seemed that she had known you longer. But that is just my impression. You were so cute in the scenes where big Edie was praising you in one youtube moment. She was right, you were handsome, but you were shy when she would express that. Thanks again “darling Jerry” for this site. I grew to love you all of Grey Gardens. Melody

Dearest Melody, fellow Grey Gardeners!
Yes Edie attended Mrs.Beales funeral.
Some time after ; I had seen Edie at the Pierre Hotel in New York City.
Edie was the boldest I have ever known her to be,wearing a golden snake jewelry a wrap around her head.
The footage you have seen may have been filmed after the origianl footage was made?
Ive nearly completed a book in which my experiences at Mrs.Beales mansion takes the reader in a room ,day by day account of the legacy of this magical time in my life.
thank you my dear friends, yours,,Jerry

Dear Jerry, I saw some scenes on youtube that were not in the original documentary. Where did those come from? Also may I ask, Did Edie go to her mothers funeral? I ask because there was a post I saw that said you,Jackies sister,and Lois were there but it didn’t mention her. Also did you ever visit Edie after her mother died?
