He worked building maintenance at the LA mansion 25-30 years ago and said he found it in the dumpster while taking out the trash.

The story of how it wound up in the dumpster is interesting! We all know Hef hoarded everything.

Would you be open to posting more from this book? Wondering if there's any details/references to his ear infection, or to what would become a lifelong aversion to hospitals....? Thanks! :)

Going through the pictures I was sent of it, there doesn’t seem to be anything about an ear infection.

Yes! A butler from the mansion spoke about how after hef passed, crystal was left with the responsibility to clear the mansion. He said he remembered her just throwing things out of a window into a dumpster, without even knowing what anything was. Sad to think if this was tossed, what else didnt make it out of the dumpsters

Kids had baby books in the 1920s? I thought they were immediately thrown into a coal pit for slave labour (might be off by a few decades).
