ahh. the navy. I remember a few people just out of the service.. a few skin heads and maybe a punk or two. Im sure we knew who each other was at least by face. I was a run away most of the time.. stayed where ever with whoever. I was also born and raised in SF. there is not many of us.

I want to know if you knew a guy named Eric? Im pretty sure that was his name.. he lived on Plymouth Ave and Holloway (off of Ocean Ave) in about 77-78??

where did you grown up.. what area?

hey mike speaking of the navy do you remember GI Joe, the guy who started hanging with us all on powell who i met panhandling and he went AWOL, then got heavy into tweak and i do believe wqas offed by some mafioso? i was in touch with him until he disappeared, having kinda introduced him to the tweekers he got his foot up on tweek with. that would be robin and todd up on haight and clayton, the brick steps...THAT was a fucking SKETCHY ASS SCENE, creature and i were around there quite a bit (don't ask, he was way heavier into it than i was) and there was a chick whos dad was irish mafia and she OD'ed...that cleared the apartment. that place was seriously scary.

anyway i was hitchinking with zip-on dave from church and market up to the haight one night at like 4 AM and we got picked up by this guy who pulled a knife on us and was asking about GI Joe...zip-on was like, no i don't know him and the guy got really threatening, i was like, yes i know him but he hasn't been around. the guy had a really nice black car and we knew GI joe was in some serious shit. never saw him again after.
