Andrew's Story
Born: Des Moines, Iowa, U.S.A. Born to an American father and a French mother, Andrew was spirited across the Canadian border aboard a train in his natal 6th month. Andrew remembers melting piles of crayons as a child and creating these colorful heaps of waxy residue. Also, an addiction to Vicks 44 was early evidence to a desire for altered-consciousness. In his youthful attempts of self expression, Andrew often explored the sewers for biological specimens which he examined under the microscope. Like Theseus, in the cave of the Minotaur, he would often leave a string attached to the entrance so that he could find his way back with his prized flukes and parameciums.

This protest took the form of camping permits allowing protesters to sleep in front of the White House. In the morning, while President NIxon was boarding his limo, these very agitated protesters were chanting, '***k-You, ***k-You' , ***k-You' with a determined rhythm. Of course, Andrew fondly remembers the ex-president, now late President Nixon, especially because he hit the President with a snowball while President Nixon was touring the Midwest after his election victory. Those brief seconds of video were to make it to the CBS Evening News with Roger Mudd. DRU remembers his father saying, "What kind of damn fool would hit the president with a snowball?" Across the living room his son sheepishly grinned!!
