Decade of 1960 -  Was it really the best of times?
Maybe,  maybe not.  The decade of 1960 started with a
new, young, charismatic  President.  It  ended with a
walk on the moon,  but no peace on  earth. So you
decide.Read the headlines. Remember the highs,
the  lows, the  incredible successes,  and the
devastating failures. Then order Baby Boom
Memories to get the full picture.  
   

                       Decade of 1960 - Where were you when
                  American life was nicknamed Camelot, and a
             man walked on the moon?  If you are a boomer,
          you will remember.  If not, ask your parents, they
      will.  Either way,  Jim's  book  will  take  you back.

 "That afternoon the voice of Mother Superior came over
the PA system.She announced to the entire school that
President Kennedy had been wounded in Dallas,              By James Murphy
while riding in a car. We were all to stop our work
and begin praying."
"Unfortunately, it was time for another one of my insensitive episodes.
I remember clearly how we were all marched to the bathrooms for our
afternoon visit.  I was standing at one of the urinals, Jimmy Reardon
  on my right,  and I  was whispering to him,  'You know, if he dies we
    get Monday off'."
      "Vietnam came to our school that year.  A girl in our class lost her
          brother, and there was a big funeral Mass that we all attended. I
            knew nothing about this place called Vietnam and had no idea
               what the war was about. All I remember is sitting and staring
                   at that flag-draped casket, which reminded me of what had
                          happened to John Kennedy a couple of years earlier."
