I detested that school. So would it be fair to reveal exactly what went down? The engagement was months away, so I attempted to clear my mind by writing this memoir through the eyes of the boy I used to be. But when the day arrived for me to deliver that speech, I was as confused as ever. Happily or not, my talk was recorded. So I transcribed it for you. I also I enlisted the help of psychoanalyst Dr. Mark Alter, and included his unvarnished insights. Finally, after giving the talk, I had a weird experience and shared that, too. For this second edition, I added an epilogue of photos, most of which were taken by my schoolboy self. They tell quite a story. See what you think . . . John.
