Gil, that was a great read. Really stirred up a lot of memories. 1975? I was living in Charlotte from 74' to 78' and my soon to be wife lived in Dilworth in the early 70's which was like hippie central at that time. Sorry our paths never crossed. We could've shared a trip or two. Your description of the blotter dropping encounter is so "right on". I can really relate to the Marine encounters. I grew up in Greenville, which is about 20 miles from Camp Lejeune and about 60 from Fort Bragg, and Greenville being home of a hard partying school East Carolina University was flooded with military types on weekends mixing it up with the college kids. Man those Army guys from Bragg always had the most potent drugs, that were laced with who knows what. I wasted, in more ways than one, a couple of years to EZU as we called it, before I realized that if were ever to get a degree I had to get away from that place and ended up in Charlotte.

Dennis Sacks I was only eight, but I remember that was the year my sister burned down half the house with her hairdryer somehow. We had a place at Lake Hartwell in Georgia and my dad would drive my brother and I to school in Greenville every day--70 miles one way, while they fixed the house. He had a 1969 AMX 500 Special (muscle car) and he would scare the sh** out of me in the back seat doing 70+ on those country roads (I would slide around on the back seat in curves--hard to believe I once did not contain that much mass), and about 90 on the Interstate. Sad, but fitting he died in a car accident. But, I made it to school on time! I remember disco hitting then--The theme from "SWAT" also comes to mind. Greenville SC had plenty o' drugs in those days. The hippies would come in my parents' record store (closed in '73) smelling like pot and patchuli. Vivid recollections, Gil.

I do..... Thanks Larry! Yep, those were the days - "tiny purple fishes, run laughing through my fingers" (or something like that...) Funny - I was telling my sister...some...of this story, and she just could not believe soldiers would be into drugs.. Remember Lizard Creek Ballroom?
