Heck, from all accounts most of those who set out for Woodstock never

actually
got there due to traffic snarls.


I especially like the ones who claimed they were both at Woodstock and
in Vietnam. They probably saw both movies.

The summer of 1969 was when human beings first set foot on the moon.

That's
what I think of first when that time is mentioned.


I was 11. I remember selling flower seeds door to door to earn a West
Ben fishing pole. And my Dad getting orders to Thailand.

So what has all this do do with code?


My my Brian....how is it so hard for you to figure a person could be a
veteran of VN and be at Kent State also? You really must be a dumb ass.

I was at Kent State visiting my cousin the evening before the shootings.
The national guard had blocked the streets and the kids were running up

and
down the street throwing rocks, etc.

I had my military ID checked by the Guard on my way out of town. The next
day the shootings occured. ( I was in-active reserve status).

I was discharged in 1968. I went back to Thailand as a civilian and
returned stateside in December of 69. My original home is Alliance, Ohio.
Thats about 34 miles South of Kent, Ohio.

You can now wipe the slobber off your chin.

Good grief, Dan. You're a gorilla thumping your chest... That's a total
turn-off.

I was there the day before delivering lunch to my Dad...He was
director of communications for KSUPD at the time. I was at Brown
Junior High when we all got sent home suddenly...I found out about the
shootings when I got home and turned on the scanner.

I later joined the KSU Amateur Radio Club (K8GRA)when I got my
Novice in October of 72...a perk of being the dependent of a campus
employee.

I had a chance to see the damage done by the students to the new
Tower Dormitories on the south side of the campus...It was so new that
some of the rooms still had new plastic on the matresses and it smell
of mothballs...Trashed beyond recognition in some places.

Sure been to Ravenna. You know this Kent thing was really a bad deal. I
was a vet of the VN bull****, but I really had a lot in common with the
'kids'.

When I left out of the Kent area that evening...I told the guard that this
BS about Nixon invading Cambodia was BS. I was in Cambodia re-supplying US
troops in 67. And in Laos too. He was rather shocked. Oh well. Yes
indeed the US Government lied.
