No new show this week. \u00a0We’re flying our flags at half mast this week, after hearing of the untimely death of a long time friend and friend of the show. \u00a0I can’t say more now, except that my heart is broken for his family, and I think the city of Rochester lost a beloved son.<\/p>\n

Coincidently, the next PILLBOX episode is a nostalgic one, about my time in Rochester just after high school. \u00a0The original post is here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Talk to you next week…<\/p>\n

\"Rochester\"<\/p>\n

A couple of tales from my days in Rochester, NY, in my post-high school years. First, the story of building a raft with several of the smartest guys I know for the annual raft race. Then, my one act of spontaneity, on the 4th of July.<\/p>\n

As a side note, at one point I say that I did something after my freshman year of high school, but I actually meant college. I didn’t have a roommate in high school…<\/p>\n

Also, names have been removed to protect the…innocent. Sorry for the annoying reverse-thing. Maybe next time I’ll use dog barks or something.
\nDo they still have the raft race in Rochester? It was a big annual event back in the late 70s\/early 80s, I think sponsored by\u00a0WCMF<\/a>, the classic rock station. I can’t find info on it on the web…<\/p>\n

Thanks to Henry Herman for the great outro\/plug\/etc.<\/p>\n
