Don: Just read the "Reliving the Sixties" piece and it is a magnum opus - really. I'm printing it out to share with my kids as both a good read and an accurate re-tell of what we lived through. I find, at this stage of my life, that all I believed in during those years - has only solidified. I know our generation is also often accused of opening too wide the gates of sexual freedom with some bad side effects, of having posed rather than faced with courage the real issues of the time - and there may be some truth there. However, I remember the protests with pride, the anger at the war - I still feel in my aging bones (58,000 dead). I learned so much about community and inclusion and love - it served to form the rest of my life. Thank you for taking on this ride through that time - I am indebted. Skye Leslie

Hi, Don: if you have nothing but five-star ratings so far, you must be doing something wrong, but nice to be here.
