RAM DASS: FIERCE GRACE -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |

A three-hole golf course. One of the last things we did is dad decided we should have golf so we could play three holes, and play a little tennis, and go down to the waterfront and do a little water skiing. My father bought a Criss-Craft. And it was just put into the water, and Richard jumped in. Now he's turned the engine on, and the throttle is on the steering wheel, and there's a gear shift for forward and reverse. Richard, who of course figured he was driving a car, and he'd go into first, then second, and third. So he pulled it into what he thought was first gear, and in about four seconds, smashed the propeller, bent the shaft, and that was the end of that. We had the boat, I'd say, a minute and a half. Something like that. That was Richard. But we started to take note of his accomplishments. He got his bachelor's degree at Tufts, and then his master's degree at Wesleyan University, and his doctorate at Stanford. |
