SUSAN WALD'S SIGNED PLATES - 1971-73

What stories are "hidden" behind each signature on these plates ?

Was plate-signing an OPA initiation ritual or just a
memento of Camp friendships ?
- Why did Richie Marmaro sign as "Joe Namath" ?
- What prompted Richie Siegel to nickname himself "Cazzie" ?
- What's the connection between Phil Kaplan and "Oscar Homolka" ?
- Who were "Running Bear" and "Smashing Bonamolo Jr" ?

If you know the stories behind these mysterious
"hand-inscribed paper discs", enlighten us !!!

Lonny Siegel writes: OPA "initiation" required one to collect a number of Counselor signatures, in addition to maintaining a "vow of silence" for the day. You were allowed up to 3 infractions, which were denoted by notches on a stick worn around your neck
