The Original Buddy

This is the original Buddy, circa 1974.

I liked the name "Buddy" from the get go, so I would eventually appropriate it for various causes.

The original Buddy wouldn't have minded, but his last name wasn't Dooley.

Buddy was a fellow community organizer in Portland, Maine when I worked there, 1974-1976.

A no nonsense guy and social activist, his work was golden. So was his word.

You did not give Buddy crap, just as today you do not give Buddy Dooley crap.

And you thought I was merely being flippant...
