Life must have been a lot more laid back in Tenn than elsewhere during the 60s and 70s. In the DC area, as a young child, i remember the Cuban Missile crisis- families building bomb shelters in their backyards and fearing that we would be bombed at any moment. I remember the assasination of a president and his brother,the assasination of King, and the hysteria in the streets that it brought this government town. I remember race wars that had even my MOTHER driving into town with a gun on the dash. I remember UNION ISSUES that had lowlife scum throwing things at my fathers' car, and then shaking his hand the same day when he coached their kids baseball team to a win. I remember getting my a$$ beat down completely in a race war at TC Williams highschool the exact same year that is lauded for racial relations in "remember the titans"- what a crock that was. I remember waiting in line for 3 hours for gas in the 70s. Drugs- please! LSD, pot in quantities unimaginable today- everywhere. Good freinds that announced they were gay- one went to the preisthood, another to San Francisco.
I had a GREAT youth despite all this- probably no better nor worse than what my children or grans will live, just different with different challenges. But not the Mayberry that Tom had in Tn.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
