School Story:
How fortunate we were at TJ. Recall talent contests in the auditorium, but also guests such as anthropologist Richard Leakey - and (am I hallucinating?) Jimi Hendrix. Our senior trip to NYC, overnighting in Atlantic City and Principal Jordan, at our graduation, reading a thank you letter from the hotel manager on how well behaved we were - how embarassing! Our prom moved from the Washington Hilton to the Washingtonian Country Club in Shady Grove, Maryland - a million miles away back then - and band was the Left Banke. I hoped my Blades of Grass would have. And wasn't Joe Sofet (RIP) in the Classics, a band that won the 1967 WPGC battle of the bands at the Alexandria Roller Rink, starring the Doors and the Blades?
