Where were you 40 years ago???

[Lunachick]

I was 13 and felt so left out of it all, my older sister & husband had tickets to go, but saw the footage of traffic lined up the long road to the farm, that they decided 'no' they waited for the next day and then the weather got bad, so....they didn't go. I was secretly happy......

i was a teenager. Old enough to be a pain in my parent's side, but not quite old enough to get to Woodstock myself.

Personally, i really treasure the whole concept of what the "hippie movement" attempted to embody - Peace, Love, Understanding. And was very surprised when it all went south. i miss that energy, the hope, the ideals. It was very real and tangent then. i think we could use some of those good vibrations now.

I was a Junior at ASU, going on the new GI bill. For what it was worth, I was in Pleiku in 1965 and 1966. There wasn't much there then.

40 years ago, my dad was EXACTLY 10 years old. Today is his fiftieth.

I was 11, and out riding my horses!

I like the music, but not the long hair on the guys! Still don't.

Me too! I was 10 and my horses were my life, and still are today!

I was two months away from being born. My Mom was 45, my Dad 47 and the youngest sister to me was 20.

My BIL carried around a baby pic of me in Nam. I gave him more than a few hugs for his service when I got old enough to know what he went through.

I don't get the whole hippie thing, even when my youngest sis tried to explain it to me.

Not to knock anyone, I just do not get it being raised by parents that did 40's and 50's style parenting.
I like things simple, but can be a rebel at times, most of my family thinks I'm out of my mind for living all over the country and keeping to ourselves now since we've moved back home and have chickens!!!

Let them think I'm nuts, it keeps family drama far away!
