Evidently, Melvin Durbuloid WAS a true character around Boise a number of years ago, as my brother Erik pointed out in this post, Speaking of Squatters…  I haven’t actually heard from Melvin himself but I did hear from a few of his friends who live in Seattle now and were wondering who Erik was (not sure if Erik responded to them). Now I’ve heard from somebody else who says Melvin was a character around San Francisco as well. Mike writes: “I worked as a Custodian at San Francisco International Airport in the early 1980’s and someone used to write ‘Melvin Durbuloid was here’ all over the restrooms or else “Negroid, Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Durbuloid’.” His comment is also posted at the above-named post.

Interesting. So, where are you Melvin Durbuloid and do we want to know who you are?
