My dad has done many crazy things in his life. It would blow your mind to know some of the good and bad things he has done–especially considering how successful he’s become. Point in case is that he’s a goof. When I started our interview together I had him tell me about his academic career all the way from elementary school to graduate school along with all of his accomplishments. He went from being a mediocre student to one of the world’s leading chemists in his field. But after a while, after hearing all of the heart warming and inspirational mumbo jumbo, we decided to have some fun. So he told me about being the first Bailey Hall streaker at Cornell University. I thought, “Why not just go for something quirky that people will get a quick laugh at, something very eccentric just coming out of the blue.” So I hope you enjoy this story!

I’m still laughing at this story. How funny! I bet the people in the audience of the streaking still tell stories about it. Wouldn’t it be funny to find some of them and get their version of the story!? Great job with this story.

Great story, although I don’t know if Dad would like the deescription of him as a Dummy. Told of an incident in a short and concise manner and held one’s interest, besides being funny. Good work
