Supermud! Don't get me started!. I'm just recovering from a nostalgia =
attack brought on by the Edinboro University reunion at NCECA.
Actually Supermud may be one of the many reasons that some of us ended =
up in clay. I have such warm fuzzy memories of all that madness...
(Does anyone remember Howard Kottler singing "I'm a ..raku-ing =
Jew.."....... Or did I hallucinate that? )
And those Alpine parties.! ... I remember attending two huge parties at =
conferences in those days.. ....and somehow having the strength to =
dance all night long at both of them... and still show up for the 9 am =
sessions . (Was that Supermud or the early NCECA's that I'm thinking of =
that had Alpine parties? I'm getting old and the past is all mixed up =
in my brain!!)
But a few distinct images remain..To this day, steamed clams remind me =
of a bar in State College where I first ate them.=20
Of my years in Pennsylvania, I have become truly sentimental.... There =
is nothing like autumn in Pennsylvania.. and I tend to forget the weeks =
of constant rain but remember vividly the huge gorgeous maple trees and =
leaves piled knee-deep on the sidewalks.
I remember massive snowfalls and rolling hills........and cottages by =
the lake. I remember good people and wonder where some of them have =
disappeared to. I remember the dampness in the air, , the morning mist =
..... ... I have such great memories of being "back east"
Here at a higher altitude the air is thin and the sky is blue and the =
air is dry; .. but I remember another time that was green and moist and =
alive.
Thanks for jogging my memory....

Von,
I wish I could have visited with you and many others in Charlotte.
I feel the same way about Pennsylvania and I am in Montana! Alpine
sponsored the NCECA parties until they got too big. In '73 they ran out
of beer in Phila. at the NCECA.
The SuperMud/NCECA in the late '70s was really awesome.I first met
Monona (ACTS) there.
Where did all that dancing energy go anyway?
