The disaster that would haunt me for the rest of my life, its name was education
This is not an introduction to my story and life, but it is sort of a way to give some background to what went on with me and school or the absence of it. I’m not going to discuss the first eight years of my life before we moved. I’m also still on Long Island, NY just a little closer to the city. when I was nine years old. I will say that my stepmother gave me to the neighbors for them to babysit me, but my stepmother would always just happen to forget to pick me up. I could stay by the neighbor for weeks on end (I’m sure by accident). I’m going to explain what my life was like after we moved when I was 9 and got involved with judo, gymnastics, and diving. I will try and explain why grade school started in fifth grade when I was nine years old. Once we moved, papasan became my babysitter and of course, I would end up living a working for him. My stepparents really had very little to do with my education because most of the time I was not living with them,
I started judo when I was nine years old after we moved from our previous abode. Papasan and I became very close over the first few months I was in his company. He wanted me to take him home with me so he could tell my stepmother that he wanted to take me to the city school and needed to get her permission. Papasan had told my stepmother that he was an accountant. My stepmother loved professional people and whatever they said was holy from above. Of course, she said yes, anything so she wouldn’t have to deal with me after school.
Papasan would pick me up after school, take me to the city, and bring me back in the morning in time for school. She loved the idea of me not being in the house. We would go to the city almost every other night. We would practice judo, and they had a huge locker room with a room with multiple shower heads. He would wash me down and I would wash his back and legs. After the shower, we would go sit in the sauna for fifteen to twenty minutes. That would usually zap all the strength out of me. Then we would walk about fifteen blocks to his apartment. Once there we would take another shower to cool ourselves off from sweat and heat.
For the next few months, papasan said that he had to work late so he would drop me off by one of his friends and stay there for the night. He would pick me up in the morning and take me back to his apartment. We would take a shower together, eat breakfast, get ready for school, and then drive out to Long Island where I went to school. After a couple of months, he started taking me to different friends almost every night since he had to work late.
All of papasan’s friends were extremely nice to me and always had pizza or grilled hamburgers from a luncheonette, with fries and a vanilla fountain Coke. By the time we finished eating, I was feeling very tired. His friend would tell me that we should both go to bed because papasan was going to pick me up very early and take me out to Long Island where I went to school. I always slept naked because I never owned PJs, so I slept naked with his friend and so did he. At first, I couldn’t fall asleep so his friend would give me a pill to help me sleep. We would cuddle up together and he would rub my stomach and chest and play with my hair and fingers. He then started fooling around with my toys and he would tell me to play around with his. In the morning, we got up early and I was a little groggy, so he gave me a pill and we took a cool shower to wake me up and sat down to have cereal for breakfast. Papasan would pick me up and we would go out to Long Island. We would go to the judo school, and we'd fool around until it was time for me to walk the few blocks to school. After school was over, I would walk back to the judo school, and papasan and I would drive back to the city school.
By the time I was nine and a half years old to ten years old I wouldn’t be staying with papasan’s friends as friends anymore, they had become customers or clients, whatever you want to call them. The dates would become new and repeat customers. At least once or twice a week I would have a date after school that would last till the next morning when papasan would pick me up early like 5 am or 6 am.
In High school, there would be the weekends which would be a two-day affair (duh) starting after school on Friday and papasan picking me up Monday morning around 5 am and 6 am. I would then decide if I was capable of attending school on Monday or if I was too tired, hungover, or high and I would take the Monday off.
Then there would be a four-day affair (duh) starting after school on Thursday. Papasan would pick me up early Tuesday morning around 5 am to 6 am. Hopefully, I will be able to attend school, which really never happened. Even though I would be leaving with my date after school Thursday that day was wasted because I would be thinking about what would be with the date after school. For instance, where would we be going someplace for the weekend or stay at his place and whether he would be a nice guy or just a pain in the ass. So, Thursday was also a wasted school day. Then comes Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday till early Tuesday Morning when papasan is supposed to meet the john and give me back. Usually, papasan would be waiting for the john in a Horn &Hardart Cafeteria at a prearranged time. I would be delivered to papasan, and my date would leave. Papasan would give me some change for the machines so I could buy something to eat and drink for breakfast. I would buy coffee and cake for papasan. I would decide while eating breakfast and I would usually be too hungover, or just plain tired and not in my head. So that would cancel going to school on Tuesday. So that date cost me four days of school. I did get a $50 tip so as far as money that was a huge amount of money in the ‘60s, especially for a 12-year-old kid. I would finally go to school on Wednesday. Hopefully, there will not be another date that week or a two or four-day Date to go on. It was always hard to catch up with school and usually, I would just write that week off.
A one-day date could kill two days if I can’t go to school the next day after the date. A two-day weekend could waste two school days – Friday and probably Monday also. A four-day weekend could waste four school days – Thursday, Friday, Monday, and most probably Tuesday.
Then there are the holidays, Christmas and New Year's were three weeks or fifteen school days. Then came Spring break which was two weeks or ten school days possibly twelve school days. There was Easter which I think went for four school days. We had Washington’s birthday and Lincoln’s birthday so that was good for four school days.
Then when there were no holidays during the week I still could go on a two or four-day weekend of just two dates a week. Thanksgiving was usually Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at a minimum. Most guys would also make that a four-day weekend. So that’s five school days. Then Winter break which is at least ten school days, Possibly Twelve school days.
Of course, there was the one-night stand or two-night stands not connected to any holidays which could waste two or three school days. Every once in a while I would have to go with someone for the week which could cost me seven school days. When taking a week off it would most often be attached to a holiday like Christmas, winter or spring breaks, or a holiday like Thanksgiving.
In grade school, I would usually take a Friday through Sunday or Saturday through Monday off wasting only one school day. I would usually take only one day off a week and then weekends without a Friday or Monday. Holidays were the same. Papasan would try to make sure that I didn’t miss more than one school day a week. But sometimes there would be a two-day or four-day weekend and then a date later in the week.
Middle school was the same as high school, but I was living at home or by papasan. When I was thirteen, I moved into the village (Greenwich Village West}.
Summer was kind of crazy I could go for two, three, or four weeks at a time. But the whole summer would be used up with work, except in grade school.
I don’t want to get into the subjects of what went on at the neighbors from the age of two to nine.
When I was in grade school when I was ten years old, I was sent to a sleep-away camp. I took part in an arts and crafts project which was every day after lunch which was a rest period for the rest of the camp which came right after lunch. Our arts and crafts session went on for two hours a day. I spent most of my time in A&C. I was taken into the girl's camp and night or the boy's camp at night. I think papasan had something to do with camp also
I’m not going to go further into that and what went on in camp except that I didn’t go back to camp ever again and from what I heard on the grapevine there was a mess of boy and girl counselors that weren’t asked back the next year. And there was no Indian anything after that in A&C. I don’t want to get off the original subject of school and being sold.
In 1964 when I was 13, I moved to the village. Both gymnastics and diving came to an end. Now all I was involved in was judo and papasan.
I entered high school in the city when I was 13. Since I now lived in the village it was a train ride away in the morning and afternoon to get to and from school. Back then it would only cost me 15 or 20 cents each way.
When I started school, I gravitated to the gym. The gym teacher asked me why I didn’t go take a shower and I told him because of my foreskin, and everyone wants to see how it works. He let me help him put away the gym equipment until everyone was out of the locker room. I went into the locker room and went in to take a shower. I hear the locker room door open, close, and locked. The gym teacher had come in to take a shower also. He knew I had just come in. He would become the inside person who would be fixing my school records so I could get promoted and eventually graduate high school.
I was involved in the movie and photo business with a group of men, starting in early 1965 when I was 14 for a year and a half till the summer of 1966 when I was 15. That went on every Tuesday after school for a year and a half. It was a bloody time
I was given a summer job by one of the future USA Olympic judo coaches in 1966 to teach judo as one of the activities. I won’t go into that now either, so I changed the subject of school. I will say that I was fired because of mostly drugs and alcohol.
Losing gymnastics and diving and getting fired from the camp job after two weeks ended judo for me also.
College was just drugs, work, and the lack of reading skills I went down in flames.
My spot on the rowing, swimming, and diving teams were the only things I did well at, but I would soon lose them also.
As I was ushered out of college my draft deferment vanished and I was reclassified “1A”. I was now eligible to win a one-way – round trip ticket.to Vietnam. Not even bone spurs will get me out of this date, not unless I have money to make better friends.
About a month after my walking papers, I got an all-expense paid invitation to peel potatoes in scenic Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas. After all these years with a less-than-impressive school education almost killed me and got me blacklisted.
Now I wasn’t an athlete anymore, just another teen prostitute which I guess I was good at. Papasan made a lot of money with my little ass and toys. I made some nice money using the same toys papasan was using.
I don’t want to make any connection between my owner and these two guys

Looking over all this has really left my mouth open. When you add what went on with the neighbors and then Lanny his sister and her girlfriend with their two boyfriends this is insane.
