Steve Sloane:  

After graduating in '68 I went with Dave Nash to KC where we met Ethyl Merman and wrote comedy. I wrote a short story about it (The Graduates). Next fall I went to New Paltz (SUNY) and roomed with Joe McEleavy (GNS '68) (still editing the story titled "The Effect of the Psychedelic Revolution on the Individual in Society". When Nixon got elected I burned my draft card at an SDS rally and quit school. Underground resisting draft in LA and rooming w/Nash selling door to door. Wrote a play about it (Choir Boy Gowns) which was produced at CW Post in '71. Rode the bus to Ft. Hamilton with Bobby Bakst (GNS'68) and passed my physical. Continued resisting with pro bono council of Leon Quat and the Friends Meeting in Manhasset. Enrolled at Post and studied acting. I wrote a story about it (Crazylegs and Cosmic Steve). Beat draft with lucky number 212. They called up to 195 and next cut would have been 215. Graduated and went to work for my father selling housewares. Got married and divorsed in '76. No kids. No story. Continued writing comedy with Nash (Tut Tut Tut a tragic/comedy in league with Springtime for Hitler as most offensive play ever written. It is the Exodus story from the Egyptian point of view...as yet unproduced.) Developed appreciation for literature and tennis....Expand for more
