Sometimes I feel bewildered at how to portray them, because they were so different from "ordinary life." But when I go into my memory, and see the mark they made, those years keep coming back as part of the overall story. Thanks for the links, Steve. What a rich resource! Jerry Thanks Steve and Travelinoma,

I love studying the 60's, which I think of as my decade, because I remember the social upheaval and can see how it changed my world. This post was a good reminder of how we are products of our past.
