Darbie's Van

By Rick 24

Well I can't remember all the details, Linda (Violet) is supposed to send me her recollections... I have been waiting since June of 2005...

Here is what I do remember... We were on a TP terror campaign during the summer of 1982. I can't remember how it got started, who we hit first, why, half the time I did not even know who's houses we were hitting. I do remember the first time... Linda (Violet) and Todd (Cherokee) picked me up about midnight and we drove around to several fast food restaurants with outside restrooms and liberated them of all their TP. This of course was in addition to the TP we already had. Linda recalls that we hit 5 houses in one night and I have no reason to question this. I vividly remember sneaking back in to my house shortly before the sun came up after TP'ing all night. You know there is nothing quite like the sound of a roll of TP flying through the tress and making a loud thud as it hits the ground, well loud being relative to the 3 am quiet of a hot summer night. I also remember how funny the thud was to us and how hard we had to work at not laughing out loud!

In certain circles we were known for this activity. Some mocked fear at the mention of being TP'd others had a real fear at the thought of cleaning it up. Darbie (Sundowner) was a friend to us all and aware of our little TP ritual. She was moving away sometime in the spring of 1983. We decided to get her, but we decided to limit it to the van out of respect. She did not get mad but took it in the true spirit in which it was meant. Wow all of this blabbering just to share these photos!
