And I told him, I said, I know that Doug Walker has been carrying on with students.

I told him about Rita. I mentioned other girls that I thought. I told him that he had propositioned me a couple of times. I just spilled it. I said that he always was buying drinks for all the students.

I did tell him all this because it did happen.

No, I remember going to the front of that boat and he was standing there. And I remember telling him that Walker would buy alcohol, that he had been sleeping with a former student. So the first student I mentioned to him was Rita. You know, I have to say, I'm not sure if I mentioned Jeannie by name because we were still in school together and I probably didn't want to get her in trouble.

But it was such an important moment in my life and still resonates with me 40 years later. I remember almost the air about it, like the sun and the whiteness of the boat and the hemming and hawing of Mr. Christie and him saying things like, well, hmm. Well, you don't say. But being very noncommittal about it. 40 years ago, he would have been 53, so he would have been younger than I am now.

I really doubt that at that time he wouldn't have known what I was talking about. Now, mind you, has time passed and he's forgotten? Or does he just not want to get in trouble?
