Were Kerry and Gary "Doonesbury" Trudeau in the same class at St. Paul's?

I heard about Trudeau's $10k bonus against Bush and couldn't help wondering if Gary was old buddies with Kerry.

3. GBT on Dean (no mention of Kerry)

What's up with Trudeau running a big Howard Dean campaign the last few weeks. Is Trudeau in the tank?

Damn near. Here's the skinny for full-disclosure buffs: GBT and Dr. Dean were childhood buddies, having first met at summer camp. During a camp wrestling tournament, the puny Trudeau pinned the athletic Dean twice, an humiliation (attention, biographers) that has haunted Dean ever since. After attending Yale together, the two lost track of one another until Dean became governor of Vermont and told a reporter that he'd developed his sense of humor hanging out with Trudeau. Trudeau wrote him to protest, because during his teenage years, GBT didn't actually have a sense of humor. This may explain why reporters don't think Dean has one, either. Actually he does, at least around Trudeau, so GBT gave him $2000 (maxing out early) on the promise of relief from daily Dean-For-America fundraising spam, a promise that his friend has yet to make good on. Dean has also refused to soften his position on gun control, drug reform, or any other issue of importance to GBT, so a lot of good it's done.

5. no. but

Robert Mueller, FBI director was there at the same time. There's a photo of them on the hockey team, sitting next to each other. I call it "youthful indiscretion."

You can find that on the Boston Globe image gallery of Kerry's life.. I think.
