Subject: 45 Years Ago Thread
Written By: AmericanGirl on 02/05/12 at 8:59 am
I thought it was time to start a 45 years ago thread.
February 5, 1967 - I'd just turned 7. I was in 2nd grade (I think - I changed grades during that schoolyear, but don't remember the date ???)
In Chicago we just dug out from a massive snowstorm. (I was in awe of massive snowstorms then - as now)
I loved the Beatles, especially because of their Saturday morning kiddie cartoon. The Monkees were a favorite too.
Ya gotta love this:
