Dear Ann Landers,
That color photo by Elliott Erwitt on the cover of The New York Times Magazine section created quite a sensation. I was wearing a strapless bathing suit and used three bottles of bub-ble bath. The first reaction was from Clifton Wharton Jr., then presi-dent of Michigan State University in East Lansing, and his lovely wife, Delores. They thought the photo was smashing. My readers, family and friends were delighted, not only with the photo but the splendid interview by the late Judy Wax. The only neg-ative comment came from Father Ted Hesburgh, president of the Uni-versity of Notre Dame. My friend, the Reverend, considered it "out of character and inappropriate, but not indecent." Once in a great while, something truly momentous happens in my life and I feel I must share it with you, my readers. You have been my loyal friends for forty years. Here are a few of the special columns where my personal and public life came together:

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
