He was mischievous, and he liked the 
girls. The staff at the children&#8217;s home did not care for his midnight 
creeps. He was living at the children&#8217;s home because he left home at 13 
because of a bad family situation. I imagine every kid has their 
breaking point. Doc worked down in the barn and the pasture taking care 
of the horses and cows. Taking care of horses and cows is not an 
undemanding job. To do it right requires hard work and you must like 
animals. His counselor assigned him that job to keep him out of trouble.
 On more than a few occasions, his friend Mary would sneak down to spend
 some time with him. Other times, he would sneak over to meet Dru under 
the kitchen porch. He got away with it most of the time, but he got 
caught once in a while.</p><p>The punishment for breaking the rules was 
getting thrown into the quiet room. The quiet room was just that, a 
dirty room with a dirty mattress on the floor. There were two rooms. 
None had a toilet, and only one had a window. Doc always got put in the 
one without windows. Somehow the staff thought being in a room with no 
windows would break him down. It did not affect him. He spent more time 
locked up there than any other kid in the two years he spent there.</p><aside class="m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d" data-ad-group="in_content-0"><div class="m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d" data-ad-group="in_content-0" data-zone-count="2"><div class="not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-placeholder"><div id="ad-9bf13bba38694c6f814fdb1bdaad7662"></div></div></div></aside><p>Most
 kids walked the straight and narrow because they were afraid of i a 
room with nothing in it, not even a book. It was not uncommon to hear 
kids screaming to get out. It was not the case with Doc. locked up in a 
room all alone did not bother him at one bit. Doc was one of those kids 
who lived in his head and needed no company but his own. Time flies when
 one lives inside their head. In his head he visited a thousand places.</p><p>When
 the staff would bring his meals, they expected him to promise that he 
would stay out of trouble. He never said a word. They locked him up 
dozens of times, but he never once asked to be set free. out. It was due
 to him living in his head.</p><p>I think it would be fair to say that a
 good part of it came from the mistreatment at the hands of his family. 
He could never figure out why they singled him out and treated him so 
bad. Something puzzled him why his dad or brother did nothing to stop 
it. That hurt, that arrow through the heart, caused darkness in his 
heart. In adulthood, people would say that he was cold blooded. There 
may be some truth to that.</p><p>The staff thought something was wrong 
with Doc. They did not believe it was normal for a kid to not to have 
issues with being locked in a room for days and weeks at a time. They 
took Doc to a mental hospital for kids for an evaluation. The first 
thing the doctors did was to put Doc in a courtyard with other kids. 
They wanted to see how he got along with others. That exercise did not 
go well. Doc did not play well with others. He had to leave home and was
 a loner. So making new friends was not something he would do.</p><aside class="m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d" data-ad-group="in_content-1"><div class="m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d" data-ad-group="in_content-1" data-zone-count="2"><div class="not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-placeholder"><div id="ad-e26b12e4ee7348c4ba26bce2f641dc8b"></div></div></div></aside><p>They
 took him to a room where they showed him photos of people and asked him
 to describe what he saw. It was the same thing with inkblots. His 
answers raised some eyebrows. The last thing he had to do was talk to a 
shrink. The doctor asked the usual questions. He was not expecting the 
answers Doc gave. They were not wrong answers. Doc just had a different 
perspective on things. The doctors took Doc&#8217;s counselor into a room to 
discuss the results of the evaluation. Then they headed back to the 
children&#8217;s home.</p><p> The counselor told Doc the doctors at the 
hospital advised him there was nothing wrong with him. But, they did 
mention that he was enigmatic and had a vivid imagination. Doc did not 
know what that meant. He did not care. He was thinking about his next 
midnight creep.</p><p></p>

&#160; As a little boy, I lived in the small  football town with two wonderful people who were not my parents. Mrs.  Rodgers was my aunt, and Jimmy was her husband. I lived with them  because my mother could not care for me, and my dad wanted nothing to do  with me. Mrs Rodgers was a kind woman who taught me many things about  living off the land and surviving in the wild.  Mrs. Rodgers  passed when I was five, and Jimmy then took over my care and would not  let my dad&#8217;s family mess with me. Jimmy was shady. He had a habit of  taking me to pool halls, juke joints and sometimes brothels where I  would play with the other kids. It might seem like a bad thing for a  kid, but that was an education I would never receive in school. Jimmy  passed five years later, and my dad rushed down to move me to Toledo,  Ohio. It is my belief that he did so to keep my mother from me. I Mr.  Moore came to the house where I lived and made me give away my dog and  toys. I felt much anger about having to give...

&#160; In the summer of 1980, I lived in Sacramento California. I had just  finished music school and went back to California to look for a paying  gig. I lived near 22nd and P St. It was a duplex and I lived on the  bottom floor. I worked around the corner at the newspaper, loading  papers on the trucks. One day I noticed a woman sitting on the  porch at the house on the corner. She was tall, had dark skin and wavy  black hair. I assumed she was Italian or Greek. The more I saw her, the  more interested I became. Walking over to her house would take a lot of  nerve when we did not even know each other. A friend,  who lived a  few blocks down the street and she always passed by the house on the  corner on her way to the store. Her name was Peggy. One day I stopped  her and told her about my interest in the woman who lived on the corner.  I asked her if she could mention my interest. She said she would have  no problem doing that for me. We were friends who sometimes spent time  together...

&#160; &#160; &#160;   People might say I was mean in my handling of a classroom bully. It probably was mean. All these years later, I still do not have one ounce of guilt. Julia Benz was a bully, and she reminded me of Brutus. Julia taunted me daily. She would throw spitballs at me while we were in class and hit me with her fist when we were in recess. This girl would throw rocks at me while I walked home from school. As a result, I had bruises all over my body. I sometimes wonder if there was more to it than just her taunting me. It would be great if I could go back in time and find out.   On her way home, she would walk up the dirt road about fifty yards from my house. Being the mischievous boy that I was, I started searching for a way to make Julia pay for all that she had done to me. I thought of everything from placing thumbtacks on her seat at school to trashing her lunch box. None of that seemed nasty enough.   I had this BB-gun that I used to hunt rabbits in the woods. We did n...

&#160;   In the fall of 1977 I moved to San   Francisco. I had visited the city several times in the past and found it to be cool, hip, laid back and open minded. I did not give moving much thought. I just got it in my mind one day, and that evening I packed up and was gone.   I hung out with people who did not fit into the main stream and looked down on by big society and the pretty people. I found them to be most refreshing.   An associate introduced me to someone who had one side of her face disfigured in car crash and fire. She told me her name was Sam. I could tell she was conscience of her face as she covered the disfigurement with her hair.   Sam was cool and we saw eye to eye on most things. We talked for hours on end about everything in the book. One afternoon she came to my house and said she needed to talk to me. I let her in and asked what was on her mind.   Sam told me that she needed a favor and that she would understand if I said no. I told her that I would do her the fav...

&#160; &#160; &#160;   In the fall of 1969, I spent some time in Juvenile Hall for borrowing cars.&#160;My social worker got me into a children&#8217;s home right outside of Toledo, Ohio. Any place would have made me happy as long as it was not the lockup&#160;or back home.   I enjoyed going to the baseball field across the road and hitting balls. One day a girl came to the field and suggested we pitch to each other. She told me her name was Elaine. Elaine could play and knew all about the game. She was a breath of fresh air.   We  talked  for hours about baseball, football, boxing, and what we wanted to be when we grew up. It did not&#160;matter what the subject was; we were always on the same page. She was a tomboy, but that did not matter at all to me. There was something about her I could not resist. She was my friend. We hung out at the middle school we both attended and most days after school.   One day Elaine told me there was something mysterious about me because I was not like the ot...

&#160; After my discharge from the Marine Corps I went to live with my  mother. I had never lived with her and I wanted to get to know her. It  was a crowded house with just two bedrooms and four sisters, a brother  and nephew. I lived and slept on the sofa. It was close to  Thanksgiving and there was no holiday meal planned. Donna Jean, my  younger sister, and I decided to pool our money and cook a holiday meal  for the family. Donna Jean and I were just a year apart and were  close.  She was the sibling I never had. We went to the market and  purchased a big turkey and all the fixings. We got stuff to make three  different pies and a cake. We took it all home and told the family that  we would be cooking the Thanksgiving meal for the family. Everyone  seemed receptive to the idea. On Thanksgiving morning, we started  cooking. We cooked most of the day and the meal came out perfect. We set  the table, laid out of the food, and waited for everyone to come to the  table. No one came. Whi...

&#160; The kids at Wernle were playing softball in back of the main  building. This was a normal event during the summer. The staff did their  best to keep the boys and girls apart, but Doc was always looking for  cracks in their armor. He spent long periods of time locked up in the  quiet room because of his activities. He sometimes got caught but most  times he did not. He knew the best time to talk to one  of the girls was right after the softball game because the kids headed  back to the main building and boys cottage like a crazy mob of wild  lunatics, and the staff could not keep track of everyone. Dru  had made it known that Doc belonged to her, and she had overcome all  his defenses. It was the first time this had happened to him, and their  was nothing he could do about it. On this summer&#8217;s day,  while playing softball he was plotting a way to talk to Dru alone.  Halfway through the game he walked up to Dru and whispered to her to  meet him under the kitchen porch after the gam...

&#160; In my wayward youth, I lived at two different children&#8217;s homes. The  first home I live at kicked me out. I spent two months in detention  until my caseworker found a new place for me. He took me there for an  overnight visit. The place was cool to me, so the next week I became a  resident. The next day at lunch in the dining room, a girl  handed me a note and told me who it was from a girl named Dru. Once I  got back to the boy&#8217;s cottage, I read the note, and it said that she  likes what she sees and wants me to get with her. I was not having it. I  wanted nothing to do with her. Nothing was wrong with her and I was not  stuck up. She was without a doubt the best looking girl there. She was  also a bit enigmatic. Somehow, I have always been lucky that way. Even  in adulthood, I attracted the ones who were a bit off and not in the  mainstream. I have never minded. I had no intention of getting  involved with Dru. I hung out with Mary, who was from the same city as  me, so it was c...

&#160; &#160; &#160;   It was a cool sunny day and Doc bounced down the steps from the house in which he lived. He was going over to see his cousins who lived on Fernwood Street. It was about a 45 minute walk, but he did not mind. He loved the cool, brisk air.   As Doc was approaching Fernwood, he heard someone calling him. He looked around and saw that it was Marie. Marie was one of his cousin&#8217;s friends. She lived right across the alley in a big yellow house. Marie was always throwing hints at Doc, but him being young and dumb thought the girl was playing. On this autumn morning, she hugged up close to him and told him that they should go down to the empty house. She expected him to say no, but when he said yes, she put her arms around him and gave Doc a sloppy wet kiss, tongue and all.   When they got to the house, they went around back to get in. She led Doc upstairs and into a room with a piano in it. Doc had a hard time imaging someone leaving a piano behind. With his limited skill...

I live in Ewa Beach Hawaii, but I spent my first ten years in a small town called Massillon, Ohio. At age ten I had to go live with my dad and his sister in Toledo, Ohio because the person who was taking care of me passed away. Living with my dad was a nightmare because my aunt and her husband treated me like shit. I ran off at age 13 and never went back. TBC

&#160; As a little boy, I lived in the small  football town with two wonderful people who were not my parents. Mrs.  Rodgers was my aunt, and Jimmy was her husband. I lived with them  because my mother could not care for me, and my dad wanted nothing to do  with me. Mrs Rodgers was a kind woman who taught me many things about  living off the land and surviving in the wild.  Mrs. Rodgers  passed when I was five, and Jimmy then took over my care and would not  let my dad&#8217;s family mess with me. Jimmy was shady. He had a habit of  taking me to pool halls, juke joints and sometimes brothels where I  would play with the other kids. It might seem like a bad thing for a  kid, but that was an education I would never receive in school. Jimmy  passed five years later, and my dad rushed down to move me to Toledo,  Ohio. It is my belief that he did so to keep my mother from me. I Mr.  Moore came to the house where I lived and made me give away my dog and  toys. I felt much anger about having to give...

&#160; In the summer of 1980, I lived in Sacramento California. I had just  finished music school and went back to California to look for a paying  gig. I lived near 22nd and P St. It was a duplex and I lived on the  bottom floor. I worked around the corner at the newspaper, loading  papers on the trucks. One day I noticed a woman sitting on the  porch at the house on the corner. She was tall, had dark skin and wavy  black hair. I assumed she was Italian or Greek. The more I saw her, the  more interested I became. Walking over to her house would take a lot of  nerve when we did not even know each other. A friend,  who lived a  few blocks down the street and she always passed by the house on the  corner on her way to the store. Her name was Peggy. One day I stopped  her and told her about my interest in the woman who lived on the corner.  I asked her if she could mention my interest. She said she would have  no problem doing that for me. We were friends who sometimes spent time  together...

&#160; &#160; &#160;   People might say I was mean in my handling of a classroom bully. It probably was mean. All these years later, I still do not have one ounce of guilt. Julia Benz was a bully, and she reminded me of Brutus. Julia taunted me daily. She would throw spitballs at me while we were in class and hit me with her fist when we were in recess. This girl would throw rocks at me while I walked home from school. As a result, I had bruises all over my body. I sometimes wonder if there was more to it than just her taunting me. It would be great if I could go back in time and find out.   On her way home, she would walk up the dirt road about fifty yards from my house. Being the mischievous boy that I was, I started searching for a way to make Julia pay for all that she had done to me. I thought of everything from placing thumbtacks on her seat at school to trashing her lunch box. None of that seemed nasty enough.   I had this BB-gun that I used to hunt rabbits in the woods. We did n...
