Micaëla Gallery printout:"THE MIDDLE-CLASS PROTESTANT NIGHTMARE, / STANDARD LEADER, SCOT / Oakland 1965 / I was teaching a Saturday children's art class at CCAC as part of my teaching major when I was told about Scot. He was the first kid I had ever seen with long hair. In fact, I thought he was a girl at first. He told me that he was a Boy Scout. I asked him to wear his uniform to the next class the following Saturday. He did, I gave him a few drills and he proved to be a real Boy Scout. I asked him to pose for some photographs to blow some minds, he knew what I meant, and he was great and very cool."
