My last year in college - 1976-77. My 5th year as it took me an extra year to figure out what I wanted to major in.

Another Ornamental Horticulture senior and I were able to snag free rent at the cottage on the department greenhouse facility and grounds. In return for looking after things after hours and on weekends.

So I knew my roommate Gary but not that much - just from being in the same classes. First night (I kid you not) a buddy of his, who is a Gainesville native, brings over turtle and they cook it along with other ingredients to make a stew. Sure I tried some and it was actually very good.

And that's the first and last time I ever ate turtle.
