THEY'RE STILL NO GETTING MY MESSAGE.

I'M JUST NOT IN

PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS.

THEY DON' BELIEVE IN ME

I DO, AND I'M NO SAYING THAT JUS BECAUSE YOU'RE HERE.

I KNOW, BU THERE ARE PEOPLE

WHO THINK OF ME:

ONLY A COUPLE:

OF TIMES A YEAR.

THEN OTHERS DON' THINK OF ME AT ALL

UNTIL THA VERY LAST MINUTE--

AND THEN, BOY, DO I

HEAR FROM THEM.

PEOPLE HAVE TO BE

REMINDED THA I'M STILL AROUND.

THEN COME UP WITH ONE

OF YOUR BIG MIRACLES.

SHAKE THEM UP.

Josh Greenfeld (27 February 1928 – 11 May 2018) was an author and screenwriter mostly known for his screenplay for the 1974 film Harry and Tonto along with Paul Mazursky, which earned them an Academy Award nomination and its star, Art Carney, the Oscar itself for Best Actor. Greenfeld also wrote Oh, God! Book II and the TV special Lovey and is the author of several books about his autistic son, Noah Greenfeld. The trilogy, A Child Called Noah, A Place for Noah, and A Client Called Noah, detail the effects that Noah's disabilities place on the Greenfelds and the extraordinary lengths that the family went through to find the very best care available for their son. His wife, Fumiko Kometani, is a Japanese writer and has won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's most prestigious literary award; she too wrote about their son and his developmental disability. His older son, Karl Taro Greenfeld, a special contributor to Portfolio and Details, wrote his own story of growing up with Noah entitled Boy Alone: A Brother's Memoir.Among Greenfeld's plays are Clandestine on the Morning Line, I Have a Dream, The Last Two Jews of Kabul, Whoosh!, and Canal Street. His novels include O for a Master of Magic, The Return of Mr. Hollywood, and What Happened Was This. In 1968, Greenfeld signed the "Writers and Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.Greenfeld attended Brooklyn College; he received a BA from the University of Michigan and an MA from Columbia University. more…
