"Bohemians don’t fight or cr-
sade,” said Earl[e] Pilgrim, a gaunt, bearded youth who haunts the San Remo Cafe and relaxes in Washing- ton Park in the late afternoon. “We go on living our lives as we want to live them. To hell with the sneers of society. We're anti-bourgeois and we're individualists. We don’t even like the name ‘Bohemian.’ It has a bad smell.” He explained the only reason why he used the word was be- cause his philosophy has to have a name and “Bohemian” just happens to be most convenient. " Earle[e] Pilgrim, Negro Digest 1949-01- Vol 7 Iss 3, pp n2, pp 27-37 |

"Who killed Earl Pilgrim? He was a very famous and talented goldsmith and jewelry maker in the Village and P'town in the 50's and 60's. He left "55" one night in a huff and the next day his bruised body was found floating in the Hudson off the end of Christopher Street. His wife, Lily, was never able to find out what happened. Probably a rumble with a street gang.
A few years back Earl Pilgrim gave a large framed photograph of me to the Kettle of Fish Restaurant. Last year an artist friend, Henry Lewezak, happened by there and saw the fly specked mug on the wall.
He asked the cigar chomping owner "Who is that freak?"
"I dunno, it came with the joint when I bought it." "I'll give you twenty bucks for it." "Nuttin' doin', it's part of my dee-cor."
