Most people would call Lincoln High in the seventies far too lax, but laxity is food for the self-motivated and creative ones among us. The school was chaotic and structured at the same time, a complex dichotomy under which I thrived. It opened my eyes to the infinite possibilities for the taking. Within its walls was a vast well of information beyond that which could be learned from books. There was no better place for someone like me during that permissive era. The liberal socialization I received at Abraham Lincoln High prepared me for the world and its politics.
