1970-My First Lover Jim Archiquette on Shotwell in San Fran

It was 1970 and I had realized I was gay and had become infatuated with Jim Archiquette. We were hippies and we paid some unbelievably low price for an incredible flat on Shotwell street in San Francisco's Mission district. Jim's army buddy lived with us here but od'd on pcp and drank drano and died. I was about 20 or 21 at the time.

I think records of peoples' lives, made by the people themselves, are rare before the age of video, and work to bring us closer to other generations.
