Eileen Kaufman
Eileen was a writer and wife to Bob Kaufman (a poet from San Francisco). Bob and Eileen hooked up with Ginsberg, Corso, Kerouac, Whalen, and Snyder during times when the other beats were in San Francisco.
They were well-known at North Beach and “Blabbermouth Nights.” Although Bob eventually died, and Eileen and Bob had maintained an on-and-off relationship, Eileen continued celebrating his life and poetry.

Not sure, and I have looked around but can’t find the answer to this. If anyone knows, please contact Paul, thanks!
