Gerry Simon postd this stunning photo he took in 1966 on Facebook. it shows me with other students during the first known sit-in in the office of the president of Kent State University (then Robert White).
the student newspaper had publishd a lit mag calld Collage. Bill Bierman was editor & Tony Walsh literary editor. it included 2 of my poems (item C50 in my biblio) as well as photographs by Michael Chikiris. the wingnut head of the journalism department took issue with the anti-war sentiment of the publication & attemptd to block it.
altho the names of some of those in the picture have faded from my memory I do recognize Julie Thomas & Rich Heilman.
