That awful day in 1968.

80. ... like so many others have commented ...

... those of us who lived thru the 60s as 'coming of age' adults, this date invokes clear, sharp memories ...
... I was at my H.S. senior picnic, sitting in the grass listening to a transistor radio; giggling & commiserating ....
... my bf & a couple other guys were drafted for 'Nam, a couple of the girls were talking of their upcoming marriage ...
... a few of us were off to college and a few of us we talking about their soon-to-start jobs ...
... we'd been pals since 1st grade and lived, discussed, debate and cried together thru all the horrors of the 60s ...
... when the news broke; the group's silence made the crickets nearly deafening ....
... to this day, I swear, even the lightening bugs stopped flashing for a bit ...
... the 60s made us tough, sadly tough ...
... it was wonderful to read other 'my-agers' memories ...
... RFK managed to inspire so many of us; and with so much in our tender young lives then, it was another trauma ...
... so much potential was squandered ...
