45 years ago, on October 15th, 1969, I was a high school freshman convinced that the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam war should end. From the right, Dan and Steve Schmulsky, from Mt. Everett Regional High School, in Sheffield, MA, and I were doing our part, marching in the national Moratorium. I carried my petition to the Vice Principal on the steps of Pittsfield High School, and asked him to sign. He did. Later in the day, I came across Arlo Guthrie (of Alices Restaurant fame) and he signed my petition, too. It was a big day for a young man with the absolute clarity of inexperience and simplicity. I dont know how we got excused from football practice that day. But there we were!
