Not even a glimmer in my daddy's eye yet.

With all the hype about the 40th anniversery of woodstock I just wondered if anyone was there or if anyone was around in the sixties?

I'd been in the oven for about 7 months.

I was 14 going on 18. Lots of kids from my area (Boston) went but I was just a little young for that journey. So we held down the fort at home.

Even though I was only a days drive away. I stayed home and worked that HS Junior summer to make payments on my Corvair....

Eliminating vietcong and North Viet Regulars in the Mecong Delta.. Thinging about my girlfriend and the 58 vet I had to sell. Never heard of woodstock til I returned home.

I was 2. Living in a roach infested apartment in Brooklyn.

Thank you for your service

I was 14 and the war was on all of our minds. They canceled the draft when I turned 18.

I was 20, had lost my school (1Y) deferment, so I was working, partying, and waiting for that letter from Uncle Sam. I had a low number in the draft lottery and received that letter the next March.

Yea I lost my status to...the U.S Navy wanted me because I was a swimmer in college, recruiter promised fun in the sun in Coronado, Cal. Run the beautiful beaches!!

Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego.

BUDS training Coronado

well... you DID get to swim in Coronado... Thank you, tho. Nam could not have been a fun place to grow up...

I was 4. So other than watching Sessame Street, I was kinda out of the loop.

Unh hummm! Exactly how many times did you watch it.

I guess not until the fall, really. I think it started that year.

So perhaps it was Romper Room... or Mr Rogers.

As how to get there??? And man, I musta fallen asleep on the "S"... I always figured worm hole.

First, Many Thanks to all for your service to this country God Bless you Guys!

Me, 5 yrs old....My little brother (RIP) was 3yrs old...
I guess I was starting Kindergarden, or the 1'st grade....I don't remember!

Up in Canada, growing up on a farm and 10 years old, I remember my parents talking about drugs, hippies, rock 'n roll and how they would be the ruin of this world!!!! And this morning I couldn't help but chuckle as my 20 year old daughter with a great sense of humour was singing a ditty from The Family Guy as we got ready to drive to work together..."Establishment, establishment - we always know what's best" - I think I might have taught her something....

I too was 14, interested in cars. I just moved from one town to another (my dad got a different teaching job), so I was making new friends. Didn't know about Woodstock until later.

I was 5 years old.... I was probably fighting with my brother over the last popsicle or something like that.... ahhh, the good ole days.

I was 12, my brother was 14. We ran away to go to Woodstock, but our local cops caught us hitch hiking and took us home. We didn't get past the front of our neighborhood.
