Hey, I'm just saying what I remember.

I have already seen more than enough errors in Wikipedia.  Some about me.  I'll put more 
reliance on my memories.

Ok, thinking about it real hard, it could have been 1970.  I know it was my first year at 
Pitt's Greensburg campus, and perhaps it was in the spring of 1970, not the fall of 1969.

Whatever, that was a LONG time ago ....
