Yeah, that was a very worthwhile - even inspiring - cup of coffee.
The Mitch Kramer campaign was a political innovation decades ahead of his (our?) time of which I continue to be proud. I still use the name when i need a disposable user id. I don't think I had a choice about taking the fall. I had a NHHS student ID in Mitch's name with my picture but as I remember we couldn't bring ourselves to spend the $12 or so to get the little orange ASB sticker so used Ted Drayton's (a name I would not have been able to drag from memory), who got identified and fingered me and I got pulled out of Mr. Shira's German class by some Vice-Principal (Mr. Dominic?) and warned that falsifying a school ID was a fedral crime and I could be sent to jail. Who knows what would happen now. My parents were - understandably - somewhat baffled by the purpose and meaning of the whole incident.
Nice to re-connect. I've probably devoted more emotional energy to forgetting about high school than remembering it, but its worth being reminded of the things that are worth saving and that still work.
