The circle game at The Lawrenceville School and here now fifty years later at home Chez Quinn and Joni’s and Tony’s and my wife Lynne’s circle game takes on more meaning as I take us on a trip around our whole yard and the circular paths I made oasis’s in themselves for thought , revelation, self discovery just as in 1968-1972 we all walked around The Circle and further out even as we expanded our educational recreational hormonal bursting wings and took flights short and long, some crashes some teeth gnashed, some lucky to still be alive and others thunderous external and internal bursts of congratulations and total thrives!
Intetesting four years of education and discover 1968-1972 that continues on today! Cheers! Anthony TONY Quinn 5/31/2025

Gappy Satyrday 12:05pm now...
I remember ny many trudged up from the Field House after swimming practice orcetestling orvtrack, I participayed in all three, how cokd ir winded , maxed-out I might feel, alone, on my own, charting my ownnway, my way, on my own terms, stfong enough to do if, knowing and yet discovering, able to do things as I followed the rules and played and rxperienced life, too in my free moments.
I remember with my girlfriend Babs walking further out ftom The Circle and walking over the small bridge on the fight past the Field Bouse - further out. Those were special moments for us.
I remember going to see with Babs B.B.King strum sweet melodues from Lucille his lucky guitar. He sang " The Thrill is gone ", I still have the newspaper from that. He may have signed it. I will look. Babs got her picture in that I believe?
Babs may have been better appreciated than me at the time. Then Lawrenceville School was all boys.
When my dates Katy Bean or Eden Foster came for the dances there they , too might have been more appreciated than me. I loved it, loved having them there as I kbew tgem from Gunston Junior High in Aurora Hills where I went before going to Lawrenceville. Theyvmade me feel nirmal again.
I remember my room that faced out on The Curcle with a good view in the Kennedy House. It was my sanctuary, my safe soace, my comfort zone where I could listen to my recirds on my tecird player a d Court Weidemeyer would visit with hus records of the San Fransisco sounds like The Hefferson Airplane and The Quicksilver Messenger Service and The Grateful Dead and The Youngbloods and more. We wnjoyed each other's company. George would leave me shaving cream, too on my doorknob that always made me feel so special and welcome there. Paul Valany wouldvtell me to pay novattrntionbto that. Thanks Paul.
More to follow! Tony 4/31/2015
