Finding Comfort And Comfort Clothes
I got some great old photos of Leroy from one of his old college friends. They provide a lot of comfort.
The picture of him in a dark sweater with a big orange P on the front. That was his Princeton experience. Probably not the perfect fit of student and school, except that's where he ruled in volleyball.
I love that sweater because it was a part of what shaped him. I even wear it.
Then there are the really classic, really Leroy poses. Long hair and wire rimmed glasses. Skinny Leroy pictures that scream the '70s.
I love the shot where he's wearing a Levi's denim jacket. THAT was Leroy.
That was the Berkeley Leroy.
In fact, there's one of those jackets hanging in the closet right now.
It would be this time of year when he'd be wearing it, too.
As I type this, I'm wearing a big Leroy T-shirt. One that he wore on a day off, just relaxing or walking along the Potomac, and does it feel good.
There's comfort, and then there's comfort clothes. These provide me
with both.
