Ronald's Story
Let's see. After I left U.N.H. IN FALL OF '68 and moved to Boston were I began a career in laboratories as a technician. I worked in product development for a producer of polymers for household products (floor polish & printing ink. I worked in a dental products lab, workrd quality control for Colgate-Palmolive. I made artificial heart parts in one spot. Some of my science background was useful. I flailed around unemployed in the early '80's until through a housing change when I moved to S.F. and stared the physically challenging part of my working existence. For a little over 6 months I worked as a bicycle messanger in San Francisco. It was fun almost every day, except when it was rainy or very windy. One blowey day an empty trailer truck overturned on the bay bridge while I worked on the streets! After a couple of very close calls an old friend in Berkeley suggested that I might apply for a job as a stagehand at U.C. Berkeley's Zellerbach Theater. I've speant over 22 years at this, and I belong to two unions, the U.P.T.E...Expand for more
union at U.C. Berkeley and the I.A.T.S.E LOCAL 107 In Oakland. I've worked on two movies and countless Rock And Roll shows in the Bay Area. I guess I'm still an irresponsible thrill seeker. I feel comfortable working at great height. I could trace my lack of a fear of height to sophmore year at Conant when my buddies spent a lot of time at the quarry in Fitzwilliam. Who knew that getting a kick out of jumping 65 feet into the cool water might be a job qualification 35 years later?
My friends remember me a clown and that was impressed on me in Miss Depres home room after Halloween during our Junior year. Halloween night about 9 PM Mike Reddy was driving a bunch of us on the Peterboro Rd. As we approached a car up ahead I suggested mooning the next car. We all (with the possible exception of Mike) mooned the car and as we passed we saw that the car carried Wilkenson, Marx, along with Betty Depres. The next class day she mentioned to me that she'd been seeing a lot of me and she wasn't sure that she liked all that she could see!
