California Dreaming

48 years ago several things happened: On June 1 we got married.  On Monday June 4 I started Summer school at OSU. On Tuesday, June 5 I had my 21st birthday and also that night I watched the California Primary on our little black and white TV in our attic apartment about two blocks from campus. Carol had called it a night, but I stayed up after Midnight because Bobby Kennedy had just won the primary. Then in the blink of an eye, RFK was shot live on TV.

Yes it was a impactful week.

I still wonder how things would have changed if RFK was around to beat Nixon.



Just like we will be wondering this year.
