You are right, and I should have made that correction to Fellini's post but I was so jazzed that he knew who Owsley was, well, I just let it pass. For an old hippy like me, Owsley was the only maker of LSD that counted. After all, I never ate any of Hoffman's brew, and even he did not quite know what he had.... Dr John The Night Tripper (repost for those that missed it) His name is Augustus Owsley Stanley III, and he was the son of a Californian Supreme Court Justice. He was a chemistry major at the University of California at Berkeley, and the rest is, as they say, history. I might add that if you are interested, I am writing a book that is going to chronical this time period in US History but if you are a bit impatient, I would suggest: The Haight-Ashbury, A History by Charles Perry (Vintage Books)
