sorry, not what you were hoping for.
Fall of '71 began my freshman year at Eisenhower College, Sneaky Falls NY, opposite end of Lake Cayuga from Ithaca and Cornell. That was the year after their first graduating class and they had a very ambitious curriculum including something like the 4th longest required reading list in the country...or so they claimed. Problem was, I wasn't quite that ambitious when it came to school.
Lasted 3 semesters, blew my scholarship, eventually tossed out for violation of academic and social probation...the original Double Secret Probation! Spent a night in jail on probably the only night I was actually innocent, was the victim of pretty much every right that protects a suspect/accused party...and our family was told by the ACLU out of Syracuse (or was it Rochester?) that we were 100% in the right...and to let it go if we valued my life. Talking about the State Cops here!
Left a trail of blood, most of it my own, maybe all of it, but I never hurt anyone but me. No one would truly be looking for me, but I became infamous in a short period of time.
Revenge was twofold. One, I am still here and Eisenhower College folded maybe 7 or 8 years later.
Two, one of the arresting officers left his two-way radio thingy in a booth late one night at Ma's Diner, a night I actually was guilty, and I picked it up. Kept that sucker for months before leaving it in the Ladies' Room (coerced a female fan to do the deed...ladies do love outlaws). That officer was one of two who whispered a few things in my ear over the course of the long night/morning of the arrest, most of which would upset a Neo Nazi, but just made me pity them and more than ever want to change the world. Hey, I was barely 18.
Back then, the saying going around was a Conservative was a Liberal who got mugged. But I learned that night that a Liberal was a Conservative who got arrested.
Don't recall meeting Gary Best. Sorry.
Sorry for the hijack too.
As you were.
