Our first evening - June 24, 1976 - PART THREE

Okay - I guess I have to be honest, too, that I don't remember all the details of the evening. But here's what I do remember.

When we got to my friends' home, Geoff opened my cardoor for me and he got whatever I was bringing to their house out of the trunk and carried it in for me. This chivalry definately made an impression upon me and, in fact, although Geoff''s not opening my door for me these days, he still does carry in most of the stuff we bring home.

I don't remember any more details than Geoff does about our evening at Liz's and Steve's home but I do remember that, after we left, Geoff and I went to get a light bite and something to drink at a nearby place that had sandwiches, salads, beer and wine. I remember that I was suprised to learn how much we DID have in common - our love of movies and science fiction and we both talked about buzz (though we didn't call it that, back then) regarding the recently released "Star Wars" movie. So by the end of the evening, I had decided that even though we had been on such different paths a few years earlier, that it would be nice to spend more time with him.

By the way, there is an interesting California Free Speech history to the Shopping Center where Geoff and I went for our snack that night. Here's a link to that history. Pruneyard Story Link
The restaurant where we went that night is now gone - after all, it has been 30 years.
