I find it meaningful. It was an emotional experience. The country had just about recovered from Viet Nam and Watergate, and things were looking good. I had just left a really bad inner city school and was teaching at a much better city school. My first born was eight months old and crawling all over the house. It was a happy time for me and my family. Somewhere, I have a Chicago Tribune of that date, and I think I have the Life magazine as well. I was still living in Chicago then, but I remember watching the NY fireworks on television. Good for you, Ann.
