I don't mean the drugs & rock-and-roll 60's, I mean the 60's that saw JFK, RFK, & MLK killed, the race riots that killed Newark (among other cities), and the escalation in Viet Nam. I often think how discouraging it might have been in those days to be a certain age, trying to look forward. We (and I'm talking Gen X, since I know we're in that one together) were spared from any real strife in the 1980's and 1990's. I mean, did anyone really believe the Russians were going to nuke us? Maybe we should have, but it sure didn't keep me up at night.StojBojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192293995943126014noreply@blogger.com
