St. Pete STRAIGHT '87 anyone there?

was just wondering if anyone out there was in St. Pete in '87 '88?  I'm the guy shaking Bush's hand in the photo.  

Still have nightmares..

I'm not sure which photo you're talking about, but I'm glad you happened along. In `87, I was just starting to really find my legs again after getting out in late `82.

What did you make of all that at the time? I remember hearing about Nancy Reagan doing a PR tour of St. Pete when I was in. Saw the softball piece 60 Minutes did in around `84 or so. Learned more about the state of our media from that than anything else.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I was refering to the pictures in the STRAIGHT PHOTOS topic.  I'm the newcomer shaking Bush's hand.  God what strange memories of the whole thing.  I was the only guy to give his newcomer introduction in front of the whole world.  I was in for about ten months until I started sleeping with a staff member, former prisoner as well.  I had just turned 16 she was 22.  My parents freaked out! They pulled me out of Straight and kicked me out of the house...It's been a long, long road since then.  I was just thinking it would be interesting to find some of the people from those strange days.
