Nerdy Gay Teen Into UFOs

Yep, that's me in the ultra modern sweater on the far left 41 years ago today. I was a member of NICAP — the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena. I'd read Incident At Exeter. And even the insane books by George Adamski that had us actually holding our sides in pain with laughter. I've long been out of touch with the guys I hung out with here (nerdy gay boys ultimately don't mix so well with Italian boys in Canarsie). But I look back on those days with affection and humor. Seven months later I was at my first World Science Fiction Convention. Is it any wonder I was into escapist literature?

“It’s there as plain as plain can be.” You were absolutely adorable, although you don’t seem to be a redhead in black and white.
