Waters remembers

Nevin Waters (aka Koala Bear, K-Bear)

  • Speaking of setting fires I remember setting fire to someone’s (John Haase?) chest hair after he bummed ANOTHER cigarette from me, then asked for a match.
  • Dick Hoener and Steve Heck having a cheek walk race in holiday inn room. {Editor's note: This was a pretty benign example of stupid human contests that the brothers liked to indulge in. A more potentially lethal one was drinking a six-pack of tall Colt 45s in an hour. That one defeated all comers and left more than one brother semi-comatose}.
Steve Heck and water balloons
It was spring and hot, Steve had just gotten back from football practice. Mother Newsome had saved a meal for him. He was unfortunately sitting on the back porch steps eating. I dropped a balloon on him and it washed all the food off his plate. He was pissed; I was hiding in Wobs locker when he found me. He had cooled off enough that all he did was lift me up and explained how mad he was and how hungry that he was. I am still grateful to him for letting me live.
I didn’t try to explain the rule about being fair game if you didn’t have books in hand.

Skiing
Dick and Karyn Hoener, Lois and I, Steve and Jeannie went skiing in Colorado at his folks cabin. Rode out to Estes Park in Steve’s car. Karyn and Lois discovered after we arrived that the cabin had outdoor plumbing. It was hell riding back to Lawrence with two constipated women since they refused to poop outdoors.
