i got married in 1960, had a child in 1961. got divorced in 1967 just in time for the "make love not war" movement.

when JFK was assassinated i was returning from lunch with 2 co-workers. someone had a car radio on and we heard it just as we were going into the building. when we got upstairs the radio was on. we couldn't believe what we were hearing. my co-worker fainted. she had recently lost her husband. the ride home on the subway was very strange. it was new york city. it was not crowded. i think many firms closed early. i couldn't stop crying.

and then there was martin and bobby. i thought how could this be happening?

my cousin was drafted and served in vietnam. he returned home safe.

the music was great. i listen to classic rock and it brings back many memories both good and bad.
