October 9th of 1973, I had been teaching 7th, 8th and 9th graders a grand total of six weeks. I was just eight years older than those freshmen. Liz was working at General Finance Corporation in Evanston, Illinois. I was teaching at John T. Magee Middle School in Round Lake.
She was driving her parents' 1968 Chevy to work and I drove the 1973 Ford Pinto to work from our apartment in Des Plaines, Illinois, off Golf Road near the Golf Mill Shopping Center.
JUST YOU "N" ME-- CHICAGO-- (Play me some horns.)
SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALRIGHT FOR FIGHTING-- ELTON JOHN--A 45 release from the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road out months before the album was.
RUBBER BULLETS-- 10CC-- Our introduction to this UK band.
PHOTOGRAPH-- RINGO STARR-- (Who'd have figured Ringo would do so well?)
More to Come. --RoadDog
