Scroll down and you'll see some of my old friends wearing those controversial t-shirts (I miss them!!! :bawl: And I had a crush on the guy on the far right. :p ).
So, if anyone has anything they'd like to share about what they miss most about the old days, feel free.

LOL! That's great! I hope you still have that shirt!
I was walking down memory lane last night. My brother sent me a few web links that have old pictures and whatnot of our hometown. I nearly burst into tears over some of them. Man, things change. I miss the good old days when we played outside until dark, drank out of the water hose, caught fireflies, rode in the back of pick ups, saw movies at the drive in....
Anyway, here's some stuff I found -
Local news report on the day Elvis died -

I kind of LOL'd at the one about gas rationing in 1979 - they were saying gas was expected to be a whole dollar a gallon. Sigh.
All the TV shows we watched -

Dixie, I do still have that t-shirt, but it's back in Atlanta. :(
Carlos, isn't it, though? We were one of the feistiest organizations on campus, and the liberal newspaper, as you could probably tell, didn't like us too much. :evillaugh:
