1971


Fifty years ago today, Friday, June 4, 1971, I was honored to graduate from Indian Hill High School. Indian Hill, Ohio. An ancient suburb of Cincinnati. IHHS is still excellent. The faculty, students and families there changed my life. Thank you, all.

Rangers


I miss growing up in Indian Hill, Ohio. A community that protected its own. If I were driving at night down Drake Road at 17 in a Galaxy 500 with the top down on Friday night and the local cops—the Indian Hill Rangers—stopped me, this:

“Why it’s Dan Hull. John Hull’s eldest. You got any beer or dope there in your daddy’s car?”

“No, sir.”

“Would you like some?”

Below: One Captain Black circa 1926. Seriously? These were good men and women.

I remember.


I’m tired of hearing from The Marginalized and The Oppressed. Screw them. Most just take up space. Today let’s venerate and remember people who have fought for us to keep us strong and purposeful. Just for today. Ok?
