Tucker Madawick is seventeen years old. He is Lois Long’s son by her first husband. It was dinner time. He came home from his job in the Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern and said to his mother, “Well, dear, I won’t be seeing you for a couple of days.” Lois Long said, “What’s up?” Tucker said, “Tomorrow night after work, I’m driving to Albany with Danny Sherwood for a cup of coffee, and I’ll be back for work the following day”. Lois Long said, “For heaven’s sake, you can have a cup of coffee here at home.” Tucker Madawick replied, “Don’t be a square. Read Kerouac.”
