These friends all went to school in Marin County, California at a school called, San Rafael High School. This group of friends, Steve Capper, Dave Reddix, Jeffrey Noel, Larry Schwartz, and Mark Gravich who would call themselves "The Waldos", would all meet up at 4:20 pm and have a little smokey smoke.
