Me at MIT |
|
|
These are pictures of me while I was attending MIT. The first one is of me in one of my rooms in Baker House dorm. |
|
This is me at a "birthday shower", a tradition at Baker House. The sign is talking about BooRay. This was a card game I played just once while I was in the army, then introduced to Baker House. It became quite popular there for a year or two before the D&D craze took over. |
|
I started flying while in the army. I became a private pilot while at MIT. I later got my commercial pilot's licence, but never made much use of it. |

Pictures of me with Shade, the family's pet dog whom I took with me on some of my travels. |

Life in Baker House was full of surprises. These are shots of some of the people making them happen. |

Riot Day at MIT |
|
 |
1974 was a time with lots of student unrest over the Vietnam War. MIT experienced just one day of that unrest. Here are some pictures of it. |
 |
Watching from the far side of Mass. Ave. |
 |
This was the damage that brought the police. Some "outside agitators" had pushed a dumpster on to Mass. Ave. |
 |
 |
 |
In the afternoon the police moved on the observers and chased them across campus. These guys are watching while the chasing is in progress. |
 |
 |
 |
The day after the riot many students and teachers started a "strike" to protest how harsh the police response had been. |
