During Steinbeck's visit Kerry went to Jon's house and took his parent's Heritage Club copy of The Grapes of Wrath which Steinbeck signed with the wonderful inscription: "For Mr. & Mrs. Quinn from John Steinbeck who isn't angry at anybody". FYI: When Jon and Kerry graduated highschool in 1956 their parents gave them a two week trip to New York City. John and Elaine Steinbeck were away at Sag Harbor for the summer but offered them the use of his 5-story townhouse on East 72nd Street complete with housekeeper and cook.
