You know I don't know anything about that era but I've been told (at least one million times) about my response when Reagan was shot.<BR/><BR/>I was in the post office with my grandmother (I was about four) & it came over the radio. My grandmother said everyone just stared at me as I listened to it then looked up at her with tears in my eyes & said, 'Someone shot we president!'Daydreamer of Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252522799288629118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1144454588054465182006-04-07T20:03:00.000-04:002006-04-07T20:03:00.000-04:00Great blog entries Sage.

Murf, you always get my interest up--are you going to post the poem in your blog? The book I'm reading on '68 has a whole chapter on poets--it started out something like, "Poetry mattered in 1968" Not a direct quote (I'd have to get up and go get the book for that). Karen, were you and your husband rooting for Kennedy? If he wasn't shot, I wonder what would have happened--our nation's history would probably have some different ripples in it.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1144429410669907312006-04-07T13:03:00.000-04:002006-04-07T13:03:00.000-04:00Remember the night Bobby was shot.

Oh wait, that was '69. <BR/><BR/>I remember when I was perhaps in seventh or eighth grade, our teacher gave us a pop quiz out of the newspaper.
