Remembering My Ex-Brother-In-Laws

I’ve had five brother-in-laws, and, did not get along with any of them. The person whom I felt was my real brother-in-law, was Michael Dundon, because he was in love with my late sister. Michael treated me like family – to this very day. Yesterday I attended the Dundon Family reunion at Jamie Dundon’s home where I made my ribs.

The other connection I have with Michael is that he went to Uni High as did Larry, Christine, Raphael, Vicki, Pip, Marilyn, Jeff, Bryan, and myself.

Larry and Bryan were surfers. Christine’s first LA boyfriend, Chuck, hung around at Elvis Presley’s house. Bryan was a friend of Ryan O’Neal who also went to Uni. We were living the LA Scene, doing the stuff you see in old beach movies.

When Bryan was dating Christine, he approached me one evening and had what you might call a brother-in-law talk. He told me he loves my sister, but, he was in love with other women (I believe two). Bryan had dated Liza Minnelli, and was quite the Soc. (social). I told Bryan he was in love with everybody, and was capable of loving almost anyone. I said;

“Loving people is the coming rage. No one has to commit.”

Marilyn had left me for a German Jet-setter, and I hated, but agreed with Barbara Streisand’s words in her hit ‘People’. Bryan took my words to heart and would later write his greatest hit as a member of Love ‘Alone Again’.

Being an artist, and a individualist, I could not invite others to help me render a work of art. I was alone in the coming Love of People Age….for the most part.

Bryan aspired to be an artist like his mother. He did sexy pencil drawings of blonde surfer chicks, that were like Christine’s beautiful women. Bryan dated these Beach Bunnies, as they were called.
