The Usual Gang Of Idiots

Speaking of found families, there was the Usual Gang of Idiots, to which I belonged at MIT. Those of you of a certain vintage will recognize the reference.

I never had an ounce of trouble with my birth family. They backed me 100% in every intelligent enterprise I ever undertook, and guided me away from the stupid ones.

My first year at MIT was tough, albeit it got better towards the end. But in my second year, at The Tech, Norm Sandler, Barb Moore and John Hanzel joined me in an unbreakable lifetime bond. They were all at my wedding, I was at their's.

Jobs and lovers came and went. The UGI (and Edwin Diamond) were the rock upon which I built the church of my wonderful life.

Grateful and thankful. And so much more.
