Dec 2021

to vote for RFK in '68. I was 15. But I would have done volunteer work as I eventually did for Hubert Humphrey in '68.

As far nuclear war fears goes...
Hey, I'm a NYC'r like target #2, after ?DC. Those damn monthly air raid siren drills. I know all about them.

I lived in quite Northern Manhattan below and above the GW Bridge.
We were (when I was 6, 7) living near the top of the hill of our pretty quiet street on the sixth floor.
At night we sometimes could hear in the distance the Volunteer Firefighters Sirens go off in the NJ towns.

Those sirens sounded like the nuclear sirens. I'd lie in bed wondering if the sirens were going to start going off here in NYC, and This was It - Nuclear Conflagration.
So, yeah, I know all about that feeling of terror as well.

Later for more.
