Yes, Quigleys was great! I specifically remember going there one night and dancing to the song OPP by Naughty by Nature!

+1000!

With my spandex bodysuit and spandex daisy duke shorts, at 16, I was destined to get up in there with a $20 bill!

Being a student at Whittier Woods Elementary - a safety patrol on Maiden Lane. When my teachers went on strike and I had to cross the picket line past my 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Freedman - shame on you Mrs. Freedman. It was so ugly.

Whittier Woods was closed several years later - while I was going to Pyle on Wilson.

Do you remember when Captain 20 landed in a helecopter in the athletic field behind Whittier Woods? It must have been around 1969.

How about streeking during the mid-70's? Nowadays you would be convicted as a sex offender. Mooning would get you 10 years - it was a form of greeting in my era. As a rugger, it was an essential means of communication at long distance.

I streaked in the mid '70's when I was in high school. (Twice)

She was so intoxicatingly classy and beautiful. I used to have fantasies about meeting her in New York City and having her think I was quite the man - completly non-sexual of course but so amazingly head over heals for my teacher.

Am I way behind on terminology? What/who is a DH in a non-baseball sense?

DH = dear husband

It's now referred to as the WAUD (I think that's short for Whittier Auditorium) but the kids refer to the whole building as the WAUD.

(Giggling) Your story reads much different with dear husband instead of designated hitter.

Slipping $1 bill in your spandex body suit.
