Garret E. Taylor asked me a personal question on the CAUT list, so I'll
have to answer it the same way.  NO, I was NOT one of the boys who poured
paint on that statue more than fifty years ago.  My friends and I pulled
our share of pranks in our time, but destructive stuff was NOT our idea of
"fun".  The way we saw it, those guys got caught - had to clean it up
themselves - served them right.  There was one fellow we would not go out
with, nor let him in the group when we went somewhere.  It was simply a
matter statistics.  Whenever he was in the group, something bad would
happen.  It always did.  If it didn't just happen out of the blue, he would
make it happen.
