CLASSIC!!! This is where we hung out every day
by the chess tables around the corner
from EI. I LOVE this picture of Andy, sporting
his trench coat and looking ultra cool. Check the guys
walking down 6th Ave., peering into the shot.
winter/spring 1970.

John Rossant! I haven't heard anyone mention him.
I think he only was in our class for a couple of years? Good guy -
When the moratorium stuff was going on, and students at
the New School on 13th and 5th had occupied that building,
EI begrudgingly let us Junior High Types hang out there for a
few weeks until the police took it back.
John and I mostly went on food runs for the 1th Graders who were
running the show, like Andy Jackness...it was better than going to
class! I ran into him randomly, in a bar in SoHo iin 1982 and he
seemed well.

What was it with the cigarettes?
Yours truly with the Lucky Strike.

anybody remember this guy? I guess he lived near
the school and used to hang around us .
Heavy Eastern European Accent.

I took this of Karen Fisher in the student lounge.
The dreamy light really enhances her ethereal beauty.
Hi Karen!

This was snapped when Lisa Schillit and I took a trip to The Putney
School to visit Kevin Mathewson. I applied to Putney that year but
those smarmy bastids rejected me! Oh well, all's well..
Lisa looks great in her camo gear - has anyone heard from her?

Kevin, in Brooklin Maine, August 1970.
We spent a glorious summer at his folks
house, sailing around Penobscot bay with his
dad in their 34 foot sloop, The Felicity, and
generally misbehaving. Normally we kept the
beverages inside brown paper bags for effect.
Emailing with Kevin recently, and he let me
know that he's sober these days, so I hope he
doesn't mind the pic!
