I was one of the first "Post Toasties," a graduate of C. W. Post College on Long Island --a campus of Long Island University (LIU).
This was --geeze, it was so long ago I don't remember exactly --late 50s, early 1960s, I guess, and there was an underground firing range on the campus, off from the main buildings of the Post Estate, on the Southwest (!) part of the estate.
The campus was sold to LIU by the heirs of Charles W. Post of cereal fame and wealth. Wasn't much, lighting was poor, ventilation was nil, but it was a firing range, and I actually shot a friend's .22 pistol down there. He was a licensed CCW from Suffolk County and had a PI license as well. They were my first shots with a powder-actuated handgun.
I wonder if there are any Post College students or graduates who remember this, and can tell me if it still exists. Knowing the present population/mentality of Long Island, I'd bet that it has been bulldozed over by now, but it was there long ago, and I shot in it.
Tell you what, no lie, sweartagawd truth, it was so long ago that my diploma was completely in Latin. No kidding! I had some trouble with this a while ago when I needed to document my college credentials by presenting the original, and they would not accept it since nobody could translate it! (They finally did accept it when I had them contact the college directly for confirmation.)
Now
them's the good ole days!
