Message: [QUOTE="crewbear742, post: 3147598, member: 7435"] I was not quite 10 in August '69 so what I knew of Woodstock I would have gleaned from Mad Magazine. My older brother was 20 so theoretically he could have attended but he had more important things to take care of. He was a patient at Great Lakes Naval Hospital at the time. He would spend a good portion of '69 and '70 at Great Lakes. The first time he was able to come home was during the September following Woodstock. I will never forget my Mom running down the driveway when she saw him. If you asked my brother about Woodstock he would probably tell you about a t-shirt he had made for himself. It read "Altamont. Three Days of Love and Peace." That shirt made a lot of people mad at the time. He didn't care. Emblematic of the great unbridgable chasm that opened between those who went and those who didn't.
