I met John while in college, he was not a student the time, claimed to have been and dropped out, could be, I did uotknow, and he seemed to appear now and then, here and there, no schedule, no pre-arranged dates. Here he is at the campus, his “politics” were on his sleeve, and as you; can see here, of concern for others.
In 1968 the draft scheduled a physical for my name and as it turned out John was also called. I was instructed to appear early in the morning for a bus ride to the physical center and when I got there John was there, laying outside the bus in a coffin.
They made him take the coffin to the back the bus and he played in it the whole trip about three half hours. When the bus arrived John would not get out of the coffin, no on would carry him out, and so he stayed in the coffin in the bus the whole day and then retuned in the coffin in the bus. I do not know what happened after that.
Maybe people today are more interested in their lives than we were back when
