The Life and Times of Getz Getz

In order to avoid military duty in Vietnam, he acted like he had a mental illness and it worked. Getz then joined his father's development company and entered into a brief, unhappy marriage. In 1977, he moved to a one bedroom apartment at Greenwich Village near 14th Street. He launched a one-man crusade to clean up the street. That is sort of how the ASPCA started.
