I was like 15 or 16 years old.
And I did that and I got that piece of paper.
But I realized I can't really use this to get out of Vietnam, right?
It's a little too flimsy.
So I'm talking to my friend and he's,
totally involved in the catholic church he's got vestments priestly vestments he has monstrance a chalice all this stuff that you need to conduct mass in a church because he was like a fanatic about this stuff his backstory is very long i won't get into it but anyway that gave us an idea i said why don't we create our own church
just incorporate it as a church in the state of New York, and we make ourselves ministers of this church, and we get the so-called clerical deferment.
It was a 4D deferment.
And that meant that you could not be drafted to go into the army because you were a minister, you were a clergyman.
I said, the thing is, it has to be legal, and we have to legally set up this church.
And we did that, right?
So now all these little various threads are coming together.
So now we have this incorporation.
We've incorporated a church.
And my friend was a very sort of theatrical kind of person.
And he liked a lot of attention.
Me, I was the opposite kind.
I said, let me just do the paperwork, you know.
But he wanted to do the thing with the robes and the hats and all of this.
And he said, listen, we're gonna do this.
