Joe,
Did'nt know about Joady and I will check out ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME - Tupac.
Joe remember Colin Covey from Opportunity High - he was much older than the
rest of us. He was on a B-24 Bomber crew dropping bombs on Germany during
WW2. He later became a Communist always said he was an always talked about
it - he could have been a red diaper kid a very early one. He lived in a
huge house in Sausalito and had a 40-foot sail boat tied up over there. He
did always drive a beat up old VW Bug and he loved to smoke weed - HE
RECENTLY DIED OF CANCER... Also Bob Morrow the jazz teacher who played
stand up Bass also died some years ago - he was so thrilled when you were
teaching those classes at Opp High...
