Got to see the special "Lennon His Life and Work" exhibit at Rock and Roll 
Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, last Sunday.  Of most interest 
to this list: in the first display...a wall of 6-inch holes containing 
various objects (e.g., Lennon's wire rim glasses, his Patek Philippe watch, 
photos, notes)...there was a nicely posed smiling photo of John, Yoko, and 
baby Sean with George Maciunas.  It was taken at Maciunas's farm in New 
Marlborough, Massachusetts outside in winter (I think the date said 
1977).  John Lenonn was wearing a lynx fur jacket and Maciunas was dressed 
in a buttoned-up green military uniform.  I have never seen this picture 
anywhere else before and it is, unfortunately, not reproduced in the 
catalog that accompanies the exhibit (or I would scan it and pass it 
along).  Yoko had inscribed the picture and identified Maciunas as being 
the leader of "Fluxus."

Yoko also had a wishing-tree installation near the entrance to the 
museum.  You were invited to write a wish on a blank white price tag and 
hang it on one of the trees.  One of the tags said "I wish Yoko would stop 
doing conceptual art."
