Mykel Daring is a college professor and announcer for the NPR affiliate. He is about ready to retire. He receives a letter from a young man from Springville, Missouri, who visits sick children, dressed as Batman, in the local hospital. He then tells Mykel that he is the nephew of his freshman-year, college roommate, Clint Grogan. He asked Mykel to write him back and tell him about how, in the Spring of 1966, they dressed as Batman & Robin as a part of a class project. The young man tells Mykel that he never met his uncle, because Clint died in Vietnam.
Before he replies to the young man’s letter, Mykel reminisces with his wife about the semester that he and Clint were roommates. He also mentions his experience with his first real girlfriend (who may have invented hand sanitizer), his first radio job at a Top 40 station (K-I-L-L 1300 AM) and how they foiled the kidnapping a the mayor’s son, by two creepy villains called The Pachyderm & the Confederate Colonel.
