School Story:
Sneaking suzi-q's into "intro to theatre" 4th period (can't believe I used to eat those); getting suspended for smoking in the girls' room, despite being the only non-smoker there at the time... Demetra calling me "Harvey" and having it stick! Art classes, and the big art fair we held with student work donated so we could buy etching presses... Some standout teachers: Mr. Barefield (for his serenity, or apparent serenity anyway), Mr. Gregory (when I asked him for assignments when I was going to be away in England for 3 weeks, he said "don't be ridiculous -- just BE there"), Mr. Thomson for Latin (who once said "If you do an original composition in perfect Latin and perfect iambic pentameter, you'll get an "A" for the quarter" and Terry McCracken actually did it), and Angus J. Johnston II (ask me the "bloody nose" story some time).
Round peg, square hole -- best of times, worst of times, but we had opportunities many never get, so I count myself lucky.
