I was in the Officials at this time, involved in these events and close to the people discussed in these articles. I wouldn’t have the same position as Gerry Foley then or now, but I do recognise the sincerity of his engagement at this time. I agree with WbS about Billy McMillen, whom I knew really well. He was lot more astute and politically developed. He read seriously and was keen to discuss theoretical matters. .

Well out of order. I really dislike passive aggressive insinuations on internet sites, particularly those that hide behind anonymity.
Jim isn’t working for anyone.

This is a sign of my terrible lack of ability to take in facts on printed pages, but it was only today when I was rereading part of TLR that I realise you too had been a member of OSF. It’s amazing. Across its years both as OSF, SFWP and WP it has had an huge number pass through it.

Yes, there were many and there are lots of us still out there. I have been writing about those times recently and tracking down people I haven’t seen in a while. They have gone in such different directions.
