Re: Sugar Shack

Hey Iny...this is a couple of months since you posed the question about the Sugar Shack....we don't remember the year it opened or if the name was originally just the Sugar Shack, but I do remember way back then Gary telling me that he never made any money off of it to speak of, but he just wanted a place for kids to dance and have fun. It gave small-town kids something to look forward to on the week-ends. We mostly have fond memories of a much more innocent time, looking forward to a place to hang out at and dance, but do you remember the time (I believe it was Christmas vacation of '65/'66) when a stabbing occurred... I believe there was a boy from back East who was visiting a family on Base who did it? It seems to me some "heroic" boys from the Class of '66 were able to surround him and get the knife away even before the police came. It was such a frightening night, I will never forget it!!
