The List: 1978 (2nd half)

A 340 Club member, a young lady, introduced me to #42 who was living at the YWCA. She was a favorite of mine who eventually preferred the company of Phil’s brother Paul. Oh well. I can remember very little of #43 cept she was a white woman, older than I, I think, that I met at Tom Paine’s; I met #44 at the Wonder Bar and, although it was over a case of mistaken identity, she got me in a fight at a speakeasy about a year and a half later … not sure if I was a lover but I definitely was no fighter … I met #45 at the Wonder Bar, eventually lost her to Jesus … #46 was perhaps Randy’s first matchmaking on my behalf; this woman was from Mars, a true Hall of Famer, later a card carrying 340 Club member, may she rest in peace … #47 always wanted more than I could give, nice girl with a young son … God bless her … #47 and/or #48 may have been after I left 340

As of 12/31/77, the list contained 32 women, 23 (72%) were one night stands, 5 (16%) were Black

There were 16 “Rookies” in 1978, 9 (56%) one night stands, 12 (75%) Black

As of 12/31/78, the list contained 48 names, 32 (67%) one night stands, 17 (35%) Black

Interesting to note, of 31 White women, 24 (77%) were one nite stands; while of the 17 Black women, 8 (47%) were one night stands.

In 2008, of those 48 women who had the pleasure of knowing me intimately, there are just three that I have spoken to in the past year and maybe another 5 that I still know. I am as oblivious to the other 40 as I’m sure they are to me.
