[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 216371, member: 7666"] The most memorable part of growing up for me in Chicago was the 60's. In 1963 I can remember when JFK got assasinated, I was in 6th grade, Catholic school, when the PA system came on to say the President was shot. I didn't know until I got home from school that he was killed. I remember watching TV in black and white with the rest of family and nation, stunned and saddened. I couldn't understand why something like that could happen in this country. I remember watching the funeral and John-John saluting his father's casket. I still follow any news regarding the Kennedy family, as I find the family history fascinating. I remember the Civil Rights movement. I was in high school and learned that MLK, Jr was assasinated in Memphis. This time an assembly was called, we were sent home and advised not to return until further notice. I went to a Catholic High School in a mixed neighborhood. The riots soon followed and once again I can remember watching the riots on TV. Richard J Daley was the mayor then and gave the order to the National Guard "Shoot to kill" regarding all the looting and burning in parts of the city. Bobby Kennedy getting killed in LA, yet another tragedy for the Kennedy family. In 1969 Man landed on the moon, and all the [B]old people[/B] [B]were saying the world is changing[/B], as man had no business going to the moon. Hippies were into love and peace, guys growing their hair (something like DS's photo:cool:) anti- war protests, and the Vietnam war. The music of the time, listened to on a transisor radio, Motown, Folk Singers, Country and Western, British Bands. The Beatles and Rolling Stones on Ed Sullivan on black and white TV. Was a complex and exciting time, to grow up and be part of the history of the 60's [/QUOTE]
