Author Description

The stories that unfold on the pages of this book, my memoirs, are absolutely true. They include several cases I handled as an Oregon attorney [from 1976 - 1997], interspersed with chapters of my involvement with the Rainbow Family/Gatherings and other anecdotal stories. I believe the reader will find some chapters compelling, others fun and humorous. I describe the non-law related chapters of this book as having some Jack Kerouac's On the Road, a bit of Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, with a dash of Carlos Castaneda.Chapters:1 - My First Acid Trip2 - Kathy B., The Toughest Chapter Of My Life3 - Panama Red, Squeaky Fromme, And Huge Indians With Pool Cues4 - Going To The Rescue Of A Damsel In Distress5 - Home Delivery Of The Los Angeles Times6 - The Story Of Goldie7 - The Story Of Goldie - Part Two8 - Life On The Road As A Rainbow Warrior9 - The Total Eclipse Of The Sun10 - Life On The Streets Of San Francisco11 - The Grateful Deal, A Former Security Guard, And Magic Mushrooms12 - Smoking A Joint In Jail13 - "I Don't Have To Do That!
