The Idea

The idea here is pretty simple. To write down what I remember, and what little I can find, about this place before I, or we all forget. A few caveats:
-The style will be essentially 'stream of consciousness'. I'll type as quick as it pours out of my head.
-I will try to keep up on grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc, as best as I can. This is one of my biggest pet peeves in our tech-heavy world, but it won't be perfect.
-For now, I have commenting open to 'anonymous', so anyone can say whatever they want. If this gets out of hand, or spammed, I'll will set accordingly.

The Lineage

The connection, via degrees of separation, that led me to the Hillcrest is as follows:
-I think the highest I can up the chain from memory would be Ben Reid. He, and some of his preppy Marquette buddies, started working there in like '86 or '87. His younger brother, Danny, got a job there through him. Danny brought in Joe Huwiler, who was my buddy. I remember I had to get a work permit to start there, since I was 14 when I started. The funny part is, most of these guys didn't end up working there nearly as long as I did. I think everyone mentioned here was gone by the end of '89.
