Not sure why he was squatting, but both were legends. I saw both at the end of their careeers.

In the summer of 82' I worked at Marriot's Great America in the games dept. I was very good at winning stuffed animals and would normally give them away. I saved a couple which I ended up giving to my kids.

I had a cousin that lived in Burlington Ontario and I had just spent the summer of 86' with her. My Dad immigrated to the US and his brother immigrated to Canada. They were both coal miners. My cousin ended up marrying my best friend and now lives here in the Bay Area.

Yes I ended up owning a business just west of downtown. It was somewhat of a landmark across the street from the Pink Poodle.

I was not a young Republican. My Dad was an immigrant and worked in the coal mines for 13 years so I was kind of young and skeptical. There was always an imminant threat of nuclear war at that point so that was likely my main concern. I wasn't a huge critic and in retrospect a lot was accomplished through "peace through strength".

I was working at an Italian market/deli for the original owner who had it for about 38 years. I ended up owning and working there for 27 years and sold it in 2008. I'm still in San Jose.
