I remamber you spike..I think. I was at the Inde for the year of '62 Number Ten, Drake. I was the poor little bugger Ted Malloy try to pick my wallet from on the stairs going down to the store room the night we arrived. Chief p/o (Hardigan ?)stepped in and gave me my wallet back. Malloy beat the sh.t out of me the next day. Draged me out of the queu for breakfast and through the door to the ablutions. Carried bruises for days. Welcome to the Inde.
Anybody else remember that?
Chunkey threatened to chop off my little finger once because I had won a fight with one of his henchmen, can't remember his name.Loved the Inde!
Contact me and we can exchange more enjoyable experiences at that edifice of higher education.
Best, Dave Bourne.
