March 7, 1969. VTPD Officer Meredith. Also a local preacher and
extreme anti-alcohol crusader. When you used to be able to come down College Avenue and around the curve at Newman Library, I was taking two VT coeds back to Main Egg from a fraternity happy hour. I was only there as a guest of an architecture classmate. Came around the corner and my VW Squareback slid just a hair on icy road conditions. Officer Meredith and his LEO partner saw it and pulled me. We all smelled like beer. They had me walk down the ice-covered curb and back and I did it flawlessly. They asked where I was going and I pointed less than 100' away at the dorm. I took the blood test at a local clinic. Borderline % then was 0.19 and that was my score. I had beers that night but didn't know I was supposed to be counting.
