August 2 William S. Burroughs died 1997 (Old Bull Lee in On The Road, etc.)
August 5 Leo Kerouac born 1889 (Emil Alcide Duluoz in Visions of Gerard, etc.)
August 6 Diane di Prima born 1934 (not sure she appeared in a Kerouac work)
August 8 Herbert Huncke died 1996 (Elmer Hassel in On The Road, etc.)
