Coming of Age

During my last semester in high school, we celebrated the first Earth Day. The following month, four students at Kent State University were murdered by the National Guard while protesting the Vietnam War. That summer, at Sicks Stadium, we saw the final concert played by the legendary rock star Jimi Hendrix in his hometown of Seattle.
