I was in the 7th grade, yep that was a long time ago. It is nice that the Haight Ashbury has made a commercial comeback from being a good place to get stabbed and robbed like in the 80's and into the 90's a bit.

Seventh grader in 68-69, too. My older brothers went to Woodstock, I begged and pleaded to go with 'em. Parents said, "No, it isn't the place for a seventh grader." They were right, I probably would've tried the brown acid. I did attend every protest that I could get to in Wash.D.C. during the next few years. Soaped a few public fountains, waded in the relecting pool next to the Lincoln Memorial. All that normal adolescent crap one does.

Summer of '67 I was in the Army at Ft. Myer, VA outside Washington, DC. I was in the "infantry", in the "Old Guard", as a toy soldier parading around for the generals and politicians and... burying my brothers in Arlington National Cemetery. Not much love for me that summer although, in the autumn of that year, I was blessed with my first child, a daughter named Jennifer. That brought considerable love into my life.
