Witness Protection Terry
Today as Terry Marotta I'm having a big birthday but before the summer I turned 21 I was someone called Terry Sheehy. Before the Witness Protection Act left me married with a name change.I needed the new identity because Terry Sheehy was such a sad little worrier: would there be Heaven for ME? How could I know which bus to take if I was too scared to ask the other people at the bus stop? Anyone who went to Camp Fernwood in the 60s saw how this little worrier blossomed into a full-blown workaholic. I ruined two summers the two years I was Captain of the Gold Team by staying up all night and skipping meals to get ready for the two “Team Parties” that were held one in July, one in August and talk about clueless: I decided that one of them had to be in honor of Shakespeare’s 300th birthday and the campers would have to come dressed as various characters from his plays. The campers! What did a ten-year-old know about who Othello was? How in the world she dress up like Oberon King of the Fairies? Like Bottom with his ass’s head? So I had to assign each kid his character THEN enclose a paragraph about who the person was and how he might dress, THEN nestle all this into my special hand-calligraphed, hand-colored ‘invitations,' all cut in the shape of the stage at the Globe Theatre. And all that was over summer vacation! You don’t want to know what I was like during the school year. Let’s just say that you certainly can have a raging case of the measles and still get yourself to school for your History test, IF you borrow the thickest makeup your mother has and smear it smear it everywhere that shows.Well Jesus Himself would get bored hearing how being a workaholic as a teen played out in my adult life so let’s skip all that and end on this high note. I just now Googled my old name and darned if MySpace hasn’t revealed a new ‘me’ in the person of a handsome Irish lad, check it out:
