My only reputation was as the founder of a war games club (sorry, “Conflict Simulations Society”; this was the early 70s, the administration couldn’t have “war” in the title of a sanctioned club) so I could have talked to you fine.

What were your grades? In the geek circles at my high school, GPA was your street cred; appearance was secondary (good thing, since I had short hair [for the period], geek glasses, and I never wore jeans).
