college memories
Gretchen was my first college roommate. I was in my first year at NMU, she was in her second. The first thing she did after her parents left was to go find a guy she'd known the previous year and ask him to go buy booze. It made quite an impression on me!
She was great fun, and so many of the things I think of up at Northern were because of her. WBKX, A Bushel of Pork, Bagels With Binky, Lizard, the guy at the prison who used to have a crush on her (her voice, on the radio). Burping in technicolor. Ordering pizza and staying up late on Sunday nights to watch 120 Minutes. Arlo Guthrie, Iggy Pop and Love & Rockets. The sound of John Denver being strangled. Polka Dot Undies, She's Not There, and Berkshire Poppies. The Damned and Bauhaus and Skinny Puppy. Watching Papillon as the frat house around me burst into a kegger.
It has been years since I last saw her, but I am very happy we were able to reconnect on Facebook. She will be missed.
