Growing Up Gonzo: Excerpts From the Oral History of Hunter S. Thompson

Sandy Thompson (now Sondi Wright; met Hunter in 1958 and was married to him for seventeen years): "I went down to Puerto Rico and spent a week in Vieques, and, again, it was total romance. Both of us were really smitten. I think Hunter really loved the fact that I had a college degree and that I had majored in international relations and then economics, and that I had traveled, and that I was a free spirit. And I had a great body. I really did. And Hunter — he was just gorgeous."
