Got a somewhat amusing story about how I first met Mr. Kohler (abt 6'6" 280 lbs I think). Probably shouldn't tell it but it's snowing outside...
Back in 1966 I resided in Julian Hall, aka the Animal Farm. It was a late Friday evening and my 3 roommates were all gone: Ronnie Run-homes. Anyway, I was in bed and was startled by a lot of loud noises and shouting below my window in the courtyard between the farm and Brookman Hall. I went to the window and looked out to see Mr. Kohler and some linebackers (?) raising heck down below. Suddenly a fellow student in the next room over started to yell at them, telling them to "shut the ____ up". There was some back and forth going on. It was then I realized they were looking at me instead of the guy in the adjacent room!
Things progressed and the next thing I know is the football players yelled they were coming up to beat the pulp out of their harasser (me). I could hear them stomping up the stairs and hoped they would go to the room next door. They did not. There was a lot of loud knocking at my door and I finally opened up. The next thing I know, Big John grabbed me (6'4" 175)under my arms and hoisted me off the floor. I plead not guilty but that didn't satisfy them. Nose-to-nose, I thought my time had come but finally a number of friends and eventually, the head resident, came to my rescue and quieted things down.
That was our first meeting. Obviously, I tended to avoid having any second meeting. The guy was a beast on the field and I often wonder what happened to him.
Trees all flocked. Guess I'll start a fire. Over and out.

Mix yourself a drink and you've got the makings of a perfect day.

I was also in Julian Tau Julian but not till 67 then 3 yrs in Brookman. I remember as a freshman Joe Glenn came into our room (4 to a room) and visited for awhile. He was very social and outgoing as he is to this day so a happier meeting with a football player than you had coyote70 with Big John!
