Life History of Serge J. Lauper
|
| Serge, 1928 |
Written and dictated by Serge J. Lauper, then edited and published in a printed booklet by his daughter, Claudia Lauper Bushman, in 1989.
This history apparently supercedes an earlier, smaller work undertaken in 1974 when Serge dictated a tape-recorded history to his daughter Bonnie.
At the funeral of his wife Jean, in September of 1977, words from Jean's own autobiography were read as a summary of her life history.
Jean had also written some guidelines for her funeral.

Poetry
Serge was a great appreciator of poetry. Among his papers was this short poem.
Life is mostly froth and bubbles,
Two things stand like stone:
Kindness in another's troubles,
Courage in your own.
- Adam Lindsay Gordon
