Being several years younger, and more timid than wise, I spent 1968-69 trying to figure out the Anti-War movement on the UW-Madison campus. My family attended church at St. Francis House on the edge of campus and that is where I was introduced to the counter-culture, which I embraced in 1971. I still look back at that time with mixed joy and sadness. Like you I saw great hope, and later great confusion. Jerry Rubin became a commodity broker and Abby Hoffman took his life in dispair.

Nice tale got me subscribed.

Complete nonsequitor but a couple years ago, your "Squeaky!" moment reminds me...I never understood how close "friend of a friend" relationship wise I am, to the discordian church and thus jfk etc

And I'm in my mid 30s hhahha
