What were you doing in 1967?

[Capt Kidd]

Just graduated from college and starting my first "real" job with Chevron Chemical as a fertilizer salesman. Starting pay was $7,200 a year and a company car.

In 67 I was in 6th grade, watched several of my cousins go to NAM, we were lucky as they all made it home.

I was a patrolman ( Now called a Police Officer due to the politically correct croud ) on the SCPD. Spent a lot of time that year protecting the Draft Boards and Rectuitment Centers from the unwashed, drugged up idiots trying to tear them down and working the riots in our local minority communities. I had gotten out of the USN in 64, married in 65 and my first of three daughters was born in 67.
God Bless all our service men and women past and present.

1967, I was in still in college and had a couple of years before joining the Navy to see southern California.

Well lets see, listening to some great music, going to the Wiskie in Hollywood, crusing Whittier Blvd, did a few drugs, not saying that was a good thing but at the time.............now it's called experimenting. ha ha. along with all that, I had a job, and not living with my parents. What a good time of my life it was.

I was drinking lots of beer while going to college and pumping gas. Pumping gas included washing windows, checking oil, water, washer fluid, and tires.

[Rancher Will]

1967 was the year that I paid off my first and only mortgage loan used to buy my first ranch.
I was discharged from the USAF in 1954 and obtained a mortgage with Prudential Insurance Company, using my mustering out pay, to buy the ranch. From 1967 I have never again ever operated or bought anything on credit for my ranches and my trucking business (except business accounts paid monthly for supplies, etc.) I have always since used the system of not buying anything unless I had the cash on hand to pay for it.

Got my draft notice and ended up in Vietnam before the year was over. Not in my master plan of ,life but learned to deal with it and survive. To all you other Vietnam Vet;s, " Welcome Home "

[JudeM]

I had fully mastered the art of talking, walking and running! I believe that I was discovering the fascinating world that encompassed "The Backyard" that summer... hehe I turned 3 the end of '67

Graduated from 6th Grade in June, then entered Junior High School (7th grade) and still in 7th by the end of the year.

It was during this time I started getting interested in computers, and was being called a nerd because of it. But these computers were bigger than a house, but I liked the idea. My how things have changed.

You and I must be about the same age then - same grades although I'd skipped a year by then.

I don't remember anyone calling me a nerd until much, much later, but by that age I was already hooked on computers and could help my Dad debug his Cobol programs.

I stuck with it and today I design and implement real-time image analysis algorithms for a company that manufactures glass container (beer, wine and other bottles and jars) inspection equipment, sold to glass plants.

I was (and still am) seriously hooked on reading SF and burned through as many books that summer as I could lay my hands on. I also remember looking forward to a trip to Expo '67 in Montreal. We flew there from Toronto; it was my first plane ride.

I was 7 years old in second or third grade probably picking my nose. Living in downtown, Jersey City, NJ. Wife was only 1 year old.

I was on board USS Galveston headed back from 'Nam. I was fortunate to be in OL Division, so as a lookout it was almost like a vacation, well sort of.
