Marilyn Mockus

I was secretary to Norm Somers and right on through
the ND demise; my children--Katy and Clay, ages 5 and
8, played downstairs, and my older son Cole, l6, went
to work at the Shawmut Inn with 3 of the ND kids. 
I was there during the sit-in, when the Black Panthers 
visited, and at the final Vortex bash.  I walked the 
walk down through the streets of Sanford and Springvale 
in the Peace March, assailed by the upright citizens.  
I attended the farce of a graduation where Bob Morrill, Lorinda
Wilder, Neil Cohen, and Jerry Zeiger got their degrees.

I was there the morning after the Sanford PD made
their dope raid and Norm had run from his house to the
dorms to warn everybody.  I rode my motorcycle to work
and Ed used it to run errands. I took a lot of crap
from the townsfolk and the police for my association 
with the ND "hippies."  Today, nobody remembers the
New Division.  One night on a local radio station, the
announcer offered a prize if anyone could name the
secretary of the New Division.  And...here's the best
part: One person did!!

Billy - Isn't she beautiful? - the Beemer, that is. 
The same old ratty beat-up bike restored (almost) to
her original glory.
