Peternap, Looking forward to your 'annual'.

As far as I'm concerned.....a date which shall live in infamy...

Four Dead In Ohio.  Why??

Who's next?

P.S.  Do any of you remember where or what you were doing that day?

I was a soph in high school.....

There are a number of things that shouldn't be forgotten and should be put into perspective Sparks. The murder of the Weavers, Waco, Kent State, our Government turning on the very people who created it.

All Students are painted as drug crazed radicals in those days. In my small way, I'd like to keep history in check by letting people who hadn't even been born then, know that things weren't much different then, than they are now.

I was in college then but was not POLITICAL. The political leaders on campus were the equivalent of todays Nerds. We were on a Quarter system then so I don't remember the exact classes I was taking. Protests were planned in Virginia but it was trout season and I expect I was fishing after classes.
