Photo taken by David Hughes and Larry Wilde, spring 1977
Larry and I organized the group shot, set up my camera on "timer", developed the film and then printed the images (which involved some dodging, due to the unfortunate shade placement) in the student photo labs at Union South. We then made the "key" by holding one of the photos up to a window and tracing the outlines on a piece of paper, before typing up the names and making photocopies.
My two years at David Schreiner House are still fond ones. All of it -- from the wapatoolie parties, endlessly watching "Star Trek" reruns, the discovery of the "here" lightbulb, cold Wisconsin "beard freezing" winters, working in the kitchen, house meetings, the trip to Devil's Lake (complete with rappeling!) -- all of it was wonderful. From what I can tell from Google Earth, the buildings are still there, but minutes from a recent (2006) Board of Regents meeting suggests that the buildings now have a different use.
It's now over 30 years since this photo was taken; time to put it up, to see if any of my former house mates happen to find it! (Still have your copy??) If you do find this, please do get in touch.
