These are some of my memories of years in Morgantown, West Virginia (1954-59, 1964-1968) and San Francisco (1968-1972). The two cities are connected by a poison hemlock encounter, Kiyoshi Ohama's flee to Okinawa, and my driving and hitch-hiking. A Senator is demonstrated against for his racism. Two hundred foreign students. SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), a poverty banquet and the day they closed International House vie for your attention in Morgantown. In San Francisco you will meet a street hustler, and Delores Huerta of the Farmworkers Union. You will climb with me to the top of Yosemite Falls, ride in my Taxi, avoid the Zodiac Killer and witness a murder. We will go to Cuba when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. There are hell's angels, Crowe Farm of back to the landers, and Take Me Home Country Roads.
