On The Docks

 

I am standing on the crew dock in Corvallis, OR, in college. It's a rainy day, and I am the shorter one. The man I'm standing next to is named the Mcloud. I forgot his first name. We are about to go for a race in Regatta. I was young, I had a lot of hair, and I was stupid back then. But I had a lot to learn, and I had a lot of energy. I don't know who took this picture, and I don't know what kind of film it was. It was not in my making. It shows a time in my life that I don't remember much, but I wish I could get back to.

Significant events include Jimmy Carter defeating incumbent president Gerald Ford in that year's presidential election, the incorporation of Apple Computer Company and Microsoft, and the New Jersey Supreme Court ruling that Karen Ann Quinlan could be disconnected from her ventilator.
