Jim Morrison at Florida State

[DeepPurple]

When I went to St. Petersburg Jr. College in '68 - '69 I remember Jim Morrison was listed in the school handbook as a famous alumni. I think he attended one year around 1961 when he stayed at his grandparents in Clearwater. He also hung out a coffee house in Pinellas Park called Beau Arts. I'm on the St. Pete Facebook page and a lot of people remember him from hanging out there.

After going to SPJC he went to Florida State in Tallahassee and I found some interesting media. He appeared in a school promo video and had one arrest also.



Here's a high school photo, he graduated from a school in Alexandria Virginia just outside DC.



From his time at FSU, I don't know the crime.

So it's on that college dean that Jim's not still with us. His fallback career killed him.
