I loved it there....

From '66 thru '69 I was there often.... sometimes for weeks at a time. In '70 I was drafted... that was an abrupt change.

Mostly we spent our time in Golden Gate Park. Lots and lots and lots of poets standing on buckets or crates reciting their latest poems. But... I was never much of a poem guy. Not proud of admitting that. Poems tend to go right over my head..... unless they have a dirty punch line that is.

I read The Iliad, and the Odyssey..... didn't understand a word. There were a few I did enjoy - Wordsworth, Frost, Poe.... I never gave up on poetry but.... never mastered it either. - JamesJM
