Schools were undergoing drills of duck & cover. Yep it was a crazy couple months - before it was all settled and things got back to somewhat normality. - I enlisted in May of 63 - when Kennedy was shot. My Mom was a wreck and then not long after that it was Nam - that didn't help her either. I think nine of us signed up and six never made it back. All friends of mine and school buds!. I think of them often more so when I talk about our neighborhood in the 50's/60's. -
