Theodore Kaczynski, the future Unibomber, about five months before his first bombing, at a party in Chicago in late November or early December 1977. (I'm not kidding.) As far as I know, no one else at the party was anti-technology or a psychopath, but the only people I actually knew there was an ex-girlfriend and her brother, so who knows.


Jerry Miculek, at an indoor range in High Point, NC, in the early 1990s. He was doing some exhibition shooting, and we talked for about 15 minutes. Very amiable guy.

For any fans of the Chicago blues who might know the name, I spent about 20 minutes at a bar talking with guitarist Mighty Joe Young.
