Attending Trinity Christian College. First impression: at a campfire on the "the hill" I was trying hard to be funny, joking about "flanged niblicks" from Canada. I remember Terry Brown also clowning around a bit. Roomed with Gary Teune at first, until he bombed out, and then Ray Wieringa, in Vandervelde Hall.

Spent summer working on campus, cutting grass and watching Terry Boerema sunbathe in a tiny bikini at the faculty apartments. Lived in John and Carla Bruinsma's apartment, with Rinke and Jim Ethridge, both of whom quit, homesick, before the end of the summer. At some point, I was going to drive up to Ontario with Pam Koster, and changed my mind at the last minute, which really pissed her off. Then I changed my mind again and drove up anyway, by myself, I believe. I have a vague, uncertain memory of Pam being quiet the next time I saw her. Think about that now-- it looks like I wanted badly to be rid of her for that trip.

I may have driven with Rick Vanderwoude, and I think we went to my parent's house and stayed there overnight. I remember Rick commenting that my parents seemed nice. Near Fort Erie-- Helen has picture of me with guitar. Marcia was there, and Dennys Afman, with Irene! Did we give Helen a ride? At some point, she made breakfast for us (on the way back, probably) in a sheer night-gown which, in the backlit morning, was nearly transparent. Helen has a photo showing Rick's car in the background (a Dodge Demon or similar). That makes sense. In 1976, I was in Calgary so it had to be 1975. Probably we gave Helen a ride home, stayed overnight, then headed back to Chicago.

I can't remember how we met, but I remember immediately riffing into some absurd dialogue about something or another. People said I should meet him-- we had things in common. He was returning from Simon Fraser University in BC. They lived in an apartment then-- not Cook's old house. He and Cathy used to fight all the time.

I was giving Helen a ride home and stayed overnight. Helen had to work the next morning so Karin was asked to make me breakfast. She seemed to resent the obligation so she did so, somewhat rudely, in her nighty. Then she sat cross-legged on the floor as I ate reading "Helter Skelter" assuming, as I later learned, that she would never see this bozo ever again. Must have been on way home, but unusual that I would have been by myself with Helen.

Was almost certainly 1976, living with Mark and Nick in basement apartment. Charlie's car kept breaking down on the way and Henry, miraculously, fixed the headers. He got rid of it soon.

I visited the TCC group some time in January (journal). Then met up with Irene Smit who had promised to go to Paris with me, but changed her mind when her aunt told her she would not be welcome back at her house if she did. She knew this, well before I even got my passport, that she would not be able to travel but never told me until I arrived in Holland, because she was lonely and didn't want me to cancel. She did visit at my Uncle Nol's place for at least a night and I accidentally burst into the bathroom while she was naked in front of the mirror. Dates are in journal for this period.

It is definitely MARTHA (not Marthe). She is now married to Tiemens. Henry oddly told me several times that Martha really liked me. One night around this time, she came to our room looking for Henry-- or maybe not. And then she jumped me, very aggressively and we wrestled around for a while until I realized she wanted something specific. Neither of us ever acknowledged this event later, but she and Henry soon broke up.

Ann's hilarious ability to stick cigarettes into her nose. That card! So much fun. Wonder where else she can stick it?

Bidding a sad farewell, at least for Howard. We spent a lot of time playing guitar together and talking about girls and smoking the last year. He liked Karin but was too shy to say anything to her. He was also a classic psych student: blatantly trying to analyze you without showing it.

I was best man. Surprised it was not Dave Guerin. I sang a song, did a toast, I suppose. I think we did "When I'm 64". Very little memory of the event. Who was the girl I was paired with? It is BRIAN, not Bryan. Confirmed. Date was mostly like July 5, a Saturday.

Don't remember much. Was he on his way to apply for a teaching position somewhere? Maybe St. Catharines? From photos, I think. Yes, a photo on that sequence of negatives.

In my day book from that time. I don't see any pictures, possibly because they are miss-dated or I didn't take any. This picture is from a trip in June 1986.
