Doing<br />stupid reckless things that could have killed me or put me in jail for<br />decades. Never harmed a soul except myself... and I got off lucky.<br /><br />Even today the voice of my parents in the back of my mind:<br />"How could you be so stupid?"<br /><br />It just comes naturally. I'm sure you know what I mean, from what I <br />understand from your story. <br /><br />You make me smile from the heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-34746785231662764922017-08-20T23:34:04.315-04:002017-08-20T23:34:04.315-04:00I didn't realize there were comments posted an...I didn't realize there were comments posted and I don't know if the person who remembered the Free Jon Grell stamps will read this. Probably not, but it's worth a try to say I remember those stamps on the wall, too. His friend Paul Samberg, another older brother type who also wrote for the Rat, probably did most of them. Thanks for your post. Not many remember, and it's very meaningful to me that you do. Thanks also for your good wishes.Puma Perlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382929672867962619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-51948504319264558992017-08-14T05:49:28.992-04:002017-08-14T05:49:28.992-04:00I have worked on St.Marks Place for 47 years.

I passed by a tastefully stenciled "Free Jon Grell" sign near St. Marks and 1st Ave for over a decade. The following is from a 1974 book: Chief! by Albert A. Seedman and Peter Hellman.<br /><br />A fourth accused conspirator, a seventeen-year-old RAT staffer named Jonathan Grell, who was carrying a loaded .38 revolver when arrested at his parents' home in the Bronx, also went free on bail.<br /><br />Best wishes to Puma and the people lucky enough to be part of her life's<br />journey. Gojira said it best.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-55461743431442341472017-08-12T08:08:43.954-04:002017-08-12T08:08:43.954-04:00Love Puma!
