On the evening of January 13, 1995, Ray Johnson jumped from a highway bridge over Sag Harbor Cove, Long Island, and was seen backstroking away from land. His body was found the following afternoon, having washed ashore nearby. We asked six among the hundreds of correspondents who received Johnson’s mailings to share their memories of the artist and his New York Correspondence School. Each article is accompanied by a mailing the writer received from Johnson.
