February 11-16, 1971 / Diessen trip: Later that day, some of us lunched at Andechs, an ancient monastery that had been converted into a beer hall. Along with such delicacies as gourmet onions, zuppe mit ei (soup with egg), and tatár, (a mound of raw ground beef that was ultimately a “parasite patty”), more tankards of beer were ordered and their contents, summarily disposed of. If there was nothing else to be learned from this trip, I realized that as a beer drinker, I was a rank amateur.

A Saturday in late February, 1971 / Paestum: On a cool, damp, but promising Saturday morning in late February, my ancient Greek history professor, Franca Camiz, led a tour to Paestum, site of a famous Greek ruin some two-hundred miles south of Rome. Here, Tony Adducci waves to me as I take a telephoto shot of the ruins.
