I should say so. My dad and my mother certainly enjoyed themselves. I came along in early 70

I was 10. In addition to the Apollo 11 moonshot (allegedly)and Chappaquiddick, a few iconic totems appeared....

I was 12/13. I would like to personally thank those that paved the way for my experiences in the 1970's: 1973 was a particularly good, foundational year for me.
I was so in love:
