Buried Treasure
My friend Richard Dingman and I dug up a buried treasure at our elementary school sometime around March 1970. The treasure is our original Victor Revenge Society manifesto.Back in eighth grade, I had a grudge against my cousin Victor, who was living with my family, so I started a hate club against him. (I started getting along with him fine by the end of high school.) I drafted a constitution, patterned after the Declaration of Independence, complaining all about Victor instead instead of King George, and got all my friends to sign it.
Well wouldn't you know it, a friend of Victor's got a hold of this document, and gave it to Victor, who gave it to my parents. My parents gave it back to me, along with a few stern words about showing respect and kindness for others. I think they expected me to feel sorry and throw it away.
I didn't feel sorry, but not wanting to get in trouble again, and not wanting to destroy my document, I buried it at school. In 1970, Richard and I exhumed the document for this photo, then reburied it. It's probably still there today.
