I wasn't in Straight with Noel, but he I met him after I had been out for about six months or so. It was probably May 1984. I was under the influence of psychedelics, hanging out on Atlantic Beach with some friends when we noticed these guys shooting off fireworks on the beach. We went over to watch and ended up having a few beers and a couple of joints. I forget how Straight came up in our conversation, but we were both freaked to meet someone else who had been through that hell and was finally free. We drank toasts to freedom and he and his friend came to a party in town the next night. I saw them again about a month later when he and his girlfriend came back down to Florida to live. I think they moved to Ft. Pierce for a while but I later heard he had moved back to Ohio. I'd love to hear from him. It was a lot of fun partying with another non-Straightling. :smokin:
