They both showed lots of compassion for the Lesbian and gay students on campus. Although the was little to no harassment of any kind at Metro, it made a difference. They were very warm to us and we got the sense that we had someone in our corner.

Fun on the elevators!

Hey Gang!

 

Wow, yes I was in the building on N. Michigan Avenue. I was class of '78. Our graduation ceremony was at the Library a couple of blocks away. I sand "Its So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" from Cooley High. And, I was friends with Corin Rodgers who attended Metro and played "Pooter" in the film.
