JMJM,
In the sixties I was living at home and attending high school in
Huntington, Indiana and going to college at Michigan State in East
Lansing Michigan. I didn't grow long hair until I later in life.
I was one a member of a radical faction of FFA (Future Farmers of
America). Does that count?
...Bill!
