Yes, well I am thinking of doing the June challenge because I realized that I had attended the first Earth day meet in Philadelphia in 1970. Not sure if I can make a guide entry on it--but it might be a interesting challenge. That year was sort of significant to US history because the Vietnam war was still being waged and there was a large anti-war movement going on and there were still hippies and counter-cultural 'happenings' occurring so there was a lot to consider and unlike DG, I am not a terrific writer, and lack his discipline to stay focused and know what details to share. We'll see. Maybe I'll have learned enough of his licks from his 'Writing Right' columns to pull it off!
