Suzy explains:\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was not really a coffeehouse, just a place for the youth to hang out.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Then she identifies the group: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153(Top row standing left to right): Barbara Bradbury-Shuffler, Tom Benton, Peter Eichenberger, Mary Haines?; (kneeling): Kurt Eichenberger; (sitting, left to right): Richard Ross, Suzy Lawrence, Bobbie Lawrence and Connie Musselwhite; (bottom row): a friend from Richmond, Va.., whose name escapes me. We made forays back then to Chapel Hill for rock concerts and other liberal pursuits of that era.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Then Suzy completes the narrative arc: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How did this somewhat motley crew evolve? Almost all of us are still residing in N.C.\u00c2\u00a0Barbara was formerly a goat (for wool) rancher in Texas, now a librarian; Tom, with a master\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in public health, has worked with government entities setting up AIDS programs; Peter flamed brightly and wrote brilliant incendiary editorials for the Independent Weekly and was a bike and car mechanic, but passed away last year; Mary?; Kurt is an architect in Raleigh; Richard is the owner\/operator of Mr. Ribs, a barbeque restaurant in Rocky Mount, and he chills at his cabin near Hot Springs; Suzy is a nurse at UNC Hospitals in gynecology-oncology, massage therapist and environmental activist; Bobbie is a nurse, formerly in labor and delivery, now in home health in Easton, Md.; Connie has retired early after a successful career in the computer programming realm and resides in a solar housing community in Asheville. My friend Richard sent [the photo] to the group of us after we reunited at Peter Eichenberger\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s funeral in Raleigh.
