1983

from Henry Boardman (henry@vnet.com)
I met Floyd as a walk-on on the ECU swim team in 1983 when we were both freshmen. Or should that be "swim-on"? "dive-in"? Whatever. Within several months I became a walk-out when it became clear that I was much too smart to wake up that early with that much of a hangover when it was that cold outside when I knew I'd never be the swimmer those guys were.

But the friendship remained. I went home with Floyd on a break -- met the very cool family, felt even more inadequate in my own worthless existence -- had a great time (think I got my ear pierced WILD MAN!).

But like all things, friendships must die. I haven't seen the sorry scumbag for more than ten years. Floyd, those records with ZMB all over them -- I want them back! I stole them fair and square!

So that's my Floyd story. Boy, he was right. Only bad can come of this.
