IT HAPPENED BACK THEN

1969 was a year to remember. The world shaking events 40 years ago included, in no particular order,

• Apollo 11 and mankind's first landing on the moon,
• the Manson Family massacre,
• the death of Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick,
• The Woodstock Music Festival,
• and on the same weekend, my wedding. I shoulda' gone to Woodstock instead.
