Hi Jay -
I just wanted to let you know that I was present at the first Strike Out. It would have occurred in the fall of 1977, just before Winter Break, on the fourth floor of West Hall. We were trying to figure out how to assimilate three of our favorites into one smooth move, and thus the Strike Out was born.
I'm pleased to know that it survived at Colgate at least through your tenure there, and thanks to you it has survived to this day as part of Popular Culture.

Amazing to hear that you were there and that it happened in West Hall. More amazing because I was an East Haller and nothing fun ever happened in West Hall back then. Ha!
Thanks for the story.
