I could swim like a fish and passed the woman like she was standing still. Got out there and grabbed the kid around the neck in the traditional save-hold, and did a side-stroke with him back to shore.
So I save a kid from drowning on my first day as an officially sanctioned swimmer saver. Would you believe it. I did not even get a thank you from any of the whole family there about six people, nothing, not an acknowledgement. I had long hair and a beard. But that's besides the point accept as of psychological interest. It had to be done.
Shortly thereafter with school finished I moved back to San Francisco. Found a place to rent one block from my old place on Winfield where Sonoma and Phy were now living. I signed up for classes at San Francisco State. Think I had the same problem with no checks coming until I could get it straightened out. This time I looked for 'the guy'. I lived on borrowed money from a friend - thank god. It took awhile but got it straightened out. I moved in three of my friends to help pay the rent, who conveniently, and for what reason I cannot remember, also were in need of a place to live. Edwardo and his girl friend took the front room, I took the middle and Gerry took the small room in the back. I took up oil painting on canvas.
I took a science course, not sure why, but the teacher informed the class that
he had known Einstein and knew a number of his associates or some such thing.
