No regrets from me.   The reason was that I quit my after school job so I could study so I could prepare for college.  My dad wanted me to work.  I refused and quit.   Then I smacked my baby sister. Nature knew that I had to leave.  I had went on a residence course in Livingston Manner and tried to stay there and finish HS.  Did not work so Bob Kory introduced me to MIU.  I fell in love with the catalogue and used that to pull myself through the fire of New York city.  Most scariest moment; walking in the bario east village bowry street area and seeing homeless guys formerly called bums walking with giant sores on their feet.  Having moved to a men's shelter with .30 in my pocket I was very afraid at 17.

If it's any comfort now, Louis, many of us had similar experiences.
The Movement was definitely a safe harbor in difficult family
situations.
