Among the assorted others: a live wire with a pixie cut named Nell Newman.
I assumed that Nell was a Hampshire undergrad, but cannot confirm that she really attended the school (Hampshire then was like a Grateful Dead tent city or a KOA Kampground - you could blow in from any direction, land there and stay as long as you liked).
Wow!! - Nell had her Dad's brilliant, knock-you-back-on-your-heels blue eyes. We scrubbed pots side by side for several shifts as various groups (Doll Collectors of America, the Union for Radical Political Economics, MA-state meals program for children of migrant workers, Martial Arts camp, etc.) passed through town, using Hampshire College facilities for their programs and needing to be fed.
350cc V-8 & a plain plastic "bench" seat up front: Glorious! |
I think of pretty Nell whenever I sip a Newman's Own coffee, or bite into a Fig Newman. Exquisite!
