Henry Rollins - in a prep school. He became involved in the punk scene through his close friend Ian MacKaye (who would later head Minor Threat and Fugazi). He then joined State of Alert, which would release one EP before disbanding. In 1981, his friend Mitch Parker gave him a copy of Black Flag's Nervous Breakdown EP; Garfield soon became a huge fan of them and went to see them in New York City. At an impromptu show in a bar, he jumped up on stage to sing the song "Clocked In." As vocalist Dez Cadena was going to switch to guitar, the band invited Garfield to practice with the band. They invited him to become their permanent vocalist, and despite some doubts, he accepted. He adopted his nickname, Rollins, as his last name..
University of Durham - college. In 2002 the University announced that a new college, to open in 2004 will be built on the Elvet Hill site Stockton In 1992 a join venture between the University and the University of Teeside saw the Joint University College on Teeside of the Universities of Durham and Teeside (JUCOT) establised at Stockton-on-Tees, 23 miles south of Durham. This was initially intended to grant joint degrees validated by both institutions (BAs and BScs). However, Teeside, which had only become a university in 1992, had difficulties in taking on its responsibilities for the college and Durham took full control of the new college in 1994. A programme of integration with Durham began, leading to the college becoming University College, Stockton (UCS) in 1996 - a college of the University of Durham.
Great White - great admirers of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Mott the Hoople. "Once Bitten" was a cover version of a song written by Hoople's Ian Hunter. Although they appeared in tight leather pants and and threw their hair around, they were considered more committed to blues-based rock and roll than to glamor. They continued touring and recording throughout the 1990s, but never had another hit. In 2003, Great White was playing in Rhode Island when their fireworks sparked a blaze killing about 100 people (see The Station nightclub fire). Guitarist Ty Longley died in the fire. A soundman for the band was injured. Quotation The lyrics of "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" are about a girl who loves rock and roll and rock and roll musicians. They include the lines: You didn't know that.
Donald Hamilton - married to Kathleen Hamilton (neé Stick) from 1941 until her death in 1989. The couple had four children: Hugo, Elise, Gordon, and Victoria Hamilton. A long-time resident of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Hamilton is a skilled outdoorsman and hunter who wrote non-fiction articles for outdoor magazines and published a book-length collection of them. Hamilton began his writing career in 1947, as American publishers began to experiment with issuing original paperback fiction. His first eleven novels, published between 1947 and 1959, were typical paperback originals of the era: fast-moving, formulaic tales with lurid covers and limited characterization. The most interesting of them is, arguably, Assignment: Murder, (alternate title: Assassins Have Starry Eyes), in which a mathematician working on nuclear bomb design has to save his kidnapped wife from a pair of shadowy.
