I’m all about history. It was one of my college majors; I taught it in school for almost a decade; I own multiple bookcases of history books (and have read most all of them); and like Mark Twain once reflected about history, “We seem to have more of it now than we ever have.” I love to study kings and queens, presidents and generals, war and peace, revolutions and revivals, and even (sigh) campaigns and elections.
But my FAVORITE is oral history. I like to talk to people about their memories and experiences from the past. I especially enjoy conversing with people who share the same memories as I do. So, I have decided to throw out a random year from the past and see what my readers might remember together with me. Perhaps those of you who are too young to remember the year will at least be entertained by our magical flashback. So here goes. Our first THROWBACK YEAR will be: 1966. (Whoa! That was a half-century ago!)
