liamstliam1. It never ceases to amaze my wife that I can find so many connections with people.
No shit, there I was, at lunch today at the conference.
Talking to the principal of Argyle High School.
Him: Have we talked about your Rhode Island connection yet.
Me: I don't know, I was botn in Westerly.
Him: *I* was born in Westerly.
[At this point, I fervently wished that Allison had come to the conference. She would have snarfed pizza.]
Him: I only lived there for about a year, then we moved to South Glens Falls. (His family is from this area).
Me: Oh, OK.
Him: But my cousin Marc Berardo . .
Me: That would be the Marc Berardo I graduated with . . . Class of 1977.
Him: Yes . . .
2. All those CDS I ordered have come in (I think), and I also picked up some Boston. Rolling Stones, Weird Al ("Straight Outta Lynwood"), altan ("Best of", and Little Feat ("Waiting for Columbus").
3. I also ordered a couple of books, including one I had wanted for a very long time -- "The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics."
4. Wow, if I am an editor, I do not know if I out the prostitute in the Sputzer case. I may actually agree with bashing the media on this one.

My best friend Mike wound up dating a girl out of that exchange.
Who did you stay with, Gigi Gaccione?

I honestly don't remember the name of the girl I stayed with. She had brown hair and she was about six or seven months pregnant in May 1976 (toward the end of our junior year).
Were you in the band or chorus? I was in both. At the time I was in the second clarinet section, because my high school music teacher did not like me for some reason. At the start of senior year, we got a new band teacher, and he re-auditioned everyone and made me not just first clarinet, but first chair. :-)
