No, but it would have been neat to be able to say I did. :)

I did! I was in front of my neighborhood on the main highway in Flagstaff, AZ.
I think I was 10-11 years old. And I had the "We are the world" record! ;D

I did, I and my friend went to Baltimore and stood there. But, true to our non-friendly region, ::) no1 actually held hands that I remember - and we were like 5 deep all in the city! The blue line was thru the city for a while, too.
Funny this is brought up - this is 1 of the huge "movements" that has been virtually forgotten. Every so often I think of it. What was the big deal, anyway? ???

My high school actually made up a bus to take us to Hands Across America (I lived so far out in the sticks, Hands didn't come there). I remember we had a lot of fun, but when we actually joined hands, we all sort of looked at each other like - now what?
