Harry Crews - I had to look him up. That’s funny you thought him a bum. He looks a little rough around the edge in some pics.
Turns out he passed in Gainesville in 2012.
I lived by Shands at UF. Where is/was the Vet hospital?
UF had Danny Rolling for a serial killer.
He got lethal injection instead of Ol’ Sparky...
I think Ted Bundy went through FSU.
The VA hospital is close to Shands, across Archer Road from the U of Florida dental school adjoining Shands. Set back from Archer Road and with road access on SW 16th Ave., the VA Hospital is easy to overlook.
In 1978, Ted Bundy killed two girls at the Chi Omega sorority house in Tallahassee, badly beating three more girls. At the time, Bundy was living at a rooming house on College Avenue, between the front of the FSU campus and the Florida State Capitol building. I lived in Tallahasse for almost thirty years and know both locations well.
Ted Bundy went through two years before I went there.
Security on campus went crazy post Bundy, understandably.
The Chi Omega house was...strange afterwards. They didn’t rush at first. Two years later they rushed, but quietly and only for legacies, I think. Their participation in Greek Week and Homecoming was muted at best.
I lived in the Beta Theta Pi house, the only fraternity located on sorority row. It was choice real estate during sorority rush.
