Caltech 1969

I graduated from Caltech in 1969. I was a member of Fleming House, and I was even Vice President of Fleming my senior year. We had lots of fun and I'm still in contact with a number (ok, a small number) of my housemates.

OK late 60s Flem nostalgia fans (yes, both of you), here goes. Do you remember:
  • Al Fansome?
  • The chopped sand at the Crock?
  • The Rose Palace? And the acts that played there
    • Jefferson Airplane (and Hot Tuna)
    • Grateful Dead (with Pigpen!)
    • Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company
    • The Jimi Hendrix Experience
    • Ten Years After
    • Arthur Brown
    • Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck
    • Carlos Santana
    • Deep Purple
  • "The guinea pig died but Brole loved it"?
  • PVA?
  • "... some like with SULPHURIC ACID!"?
  • Tracy?
  • Throop Hall?
  • DEI? And (let's be fair) FEIF?
  • "Drop It" buttons?
  • The Mouse House?
  • Fanny?
  • The 3N+1, N/2 problem? (The latest on this can be found here and here.)
  • Barry Keller running for office?
  • The Purity Test?
  • Sensitivity Training?
  • Near Bob's and far Bob's?
  • Knuth Vol. 4 - Real Soon Now?
  • WIGB?
  • Those genteel Fleming House meals?
