I Googled "October 1972 calendar" and this is what I found. If you only knew how much this will make my friend Cheryl laugh. (Stolen from these guys: page 25 october 1972 protesters)
Today, if I have my days right, is the 40th anniversary of my most enduring friendship. 40 years ago, October 23rd was a Monday, and a new girl came to our little country school. She was rather shy then, but that didn't last. In fact, thinking of Cheryl as shy is almost impossible.
Happy anniversary to my best friend of 40 years, Cheryl!

That would be a San Mateo band trip. Can't imagine where the cigar came from, but the monkey on your back was named Pedro and belonged to Stuart. I've always loved this goofy photo.

On the other hand, when they take the girdle off, they make their torso moreso.

Cheryl is the 16-year-old smoking giant rubber cigar on a crowded band bus, Meg. The chicks in their undies are just a recurring joke over 40 years of friendship with Cheryl.

Me too, MPM!

There's something oddly conflicted about three women walking along in those armored girdles, carrying a sign saying "FREEDOM".
I'm going to have to think about that.

I'm confused; which one is Cheryl??
That's a fabulous photo of ladies in their unmentionables. Only you, Foolery.
