The summer of 1969 was a huge transition season and one that pretty much changed everything-including me. Walking on the campus on the University of Texas there was the heavy “you ain’t heavy, you’re my brother” –that kind of heavy-change in the air. You could see it. Strolling down the mall there were the students who we… Continue

The Summer of '69 - Barry's Take

Prelude to Aquarius - ‘68: The devastation of the Spring and Summer of ’68 when we lost MLK and Bobby, and then got screwed in Chicago led to a Winter of Discontent, with many of us wondering if the pain that started in ’63 would ever stop. One thing did start in ’68 that would be a precursor to our Dawning in ’69: In my first week long session as a Summer Orientation Advisor at UT Austin, I fell in with a group of incredible characters in the form of Media ’70 and the UT Summer Orientati… Continue

Hey George, I never knew that you & Phil did this! It must have been before we started hanging out. That was the summer I spent as a Sunbeam bread man, in the Fifth Ward of Houston. Had to be at work at 5:30AM 6 days a week; got robbed at gunpoint...

Yes, a "UT Field of Dreams" it is, Nancy Jo. When I've had enough of work and this life, and being an "adult" - it will be so good to have this to come back to and remember special times and special people. And Roy is right -- we "were there" when...

Love your ranting posts. It is seriously hot and dry here in West Texas and we like it that way. We would not know what to do if it weren't. We are hard at work at the dental office but do have a few little trips here and there planned for this su...

Was a little surprised to get the email from Roy, but it gave me the excuse to slam one of my ranting posts together. ;-) Ya'll keeping cool in this hot summer?

Keeping Austin Weird means I have to stay weird, too. As long as nobody tries to start Commitment Proceedings, then it's OK for a 60 year old to go off on a wacky tangent of a Friday afternoon, eh?
June 26
Andrea, I agree! After seeing Roy and Barry's postings today I had to come back to this site and see everyone again! I am going back to that summer right now, remembering what happened to me that summer and how it changed me completely!
