Happy 50
th!
I remember where I was… I remember this shining spot of excitement! Looking
back, I find it so very interesting that in the midst of some of the country’s
most deeply harrowing and violent political times, this magnificent milestone occurred!
We saw our friends drafted into the hopeless
Viet Nam War, passionate protests for peace, Kent State student deaths, and the
assassinations of 2 great men that made us believe that unity, peace and equal
rights were truly possible. We (as a nation) we also accomplished the greatest scientific
achievement.
It was such a positive and exciting
moment, sandwiched between some of this country’s horrific times.
Today I have many of the same feelings I
had all those years ago, hoping with all that
I am, there is another shining moment of this caliber on our horizon.
However, with this current administration,
they have no idea what it is like to fuel courage, imagination, and comradery
with a mission like this!
