Yay! One response, hopefully more to go. Okay, I'll up the ante! A Team 25 Hawaiian Shirt to anyone who responds the questionaire, and fills out at least 2/3 of the Topical Questions. This is for a project, so please don't cheap out, I need substance!

That's right, the person with the best response will recieve the famous Team 25 Hawaiian Shirt, only available in Large, sorry!

Thanks!

Hi Neil, darn it. I would have loved the excuse to sit down on Sat. and have you write the answers!
Love to have a shirt.
I'll try to start this tonight and finish tomorrow. I'm still recovering from yesterday (some of us were at Monty until 10 pm last night).

Im 3 years under your age limit, but if you are in a pinch most of my friends were a few years older than me, so I guess my answers would be better than nothing?

let me know (PM me if you need more responses).

Ken, your responses would be incredible, I'm sure.
Write them, I don't think there could be too many responses to this project after doing it. You could state your age on your submission.
I would love to see the final collection of reflections. - *hint* -

You guys are awesome! Thanks to everyone for their responses, I'm writing my paper right now...(well I should be at least)

Neil

PS: I'm working on getting the shirts out right now!

Paper suggestions

- no typos
- 'Rock on brother' looks best with a period rather than an exclamation point.
- the peace sign is done with straight fingers not bent - unless you are old
- 'Later.' is a whole sentence used with the peace sign following 'Rock on brother.'

Great job!
Jane

'Dig.' Is a complete stand alone sentance (God I miss the '60s!)

Where did you live during the Sixties?

Near what used to be a Nazi Bund camp. I actually went out on the junior prom with someone who lived at the former place and she ended up asking the mother if you still had to be German to get a house there like you did when the Nazis ran it. My grandma actually watched the Nazi marches.Here is information about the Bund My dad on the other hand lived on a farm.

How did popular culture, like TV, movies, and music, affect your life in the 1960s?

Dad named me and my brother after the characters in the television show Bonanza. Had no qualms whatsoever and even told the priest when he asked if he was naming me after Adam the religious figure. Then my mother asked to download this song recently. Little Boxes

[KenWittlief]

the best single summary I have heard that covers how most people felt about the anti-war movement in the 60's is Bob Dylans "Masters of War" (you never hear it on the oldies stations, in fact I dont think I have every heard it on the radio at all!)

The song pretty much says it all.

[JaneYoung]

Adam, I wonder if your mom sang Little Boxes for you?
It has a sing song rhythm to it and you just kind of float along - then wham - you 'get it' - Pete Seeger always did that.
60's explored levels - lots of levels, much of it through music.
