I think maybe I was a bun in the oven. Might have been keeping the rents awake also . Hard telling.

1972 - Soiling myself, most likely, and trying to master that walking thing. It really doesn't sound a whole lot different than today.

In 68 I was a 3rd grader in an elementary school in Bar Harbor Maine.
Things I remember: Learning how to driver tractor, Playing on our hobby farm on Mount Desert Island and driving my mom and dad crazy.

1972 I remember it like yesterday. I was 23 years young. Rocking to the 8 track. First tape I bought was The Guess Who.

I was in high school at the time. I remember driving my dad to the chevy dealer to look at trucks. He negotiated a deal on the 69 and drove it home that day. It's been in the family ever since. I inherited it after he passed away many years ago. My 17 year old son is driving it to high school now. So far, it's gone through 3 generations. Who knows, Maybe someday his son will be driving it? That's what I love about a classic.

I was 9 in '67, and I remember my-a life long chevy man-*****in' every time he saw one. Not at the whole truck, just that 'useless' tiny back window. Those cheapskate no good money grubbin' SOB's can't even give a guy a decent sized window! That's when the rebel in me decided I would have one first chance I got. And I did, in about '79 or so. I still have the back half (truck bed trailer). The year my '68 was born, I was a year older and Dad was convinced that all his *****in' had somehow shamed G.M. into fixing that travisty in the back of the cab.

In 67 I was on a extended vacation in a place called CuChi, working on helicopters instead of trucks.

My trucks are 67's & I was born in '73. I was a few eggs up the chain & my dad was thinking "I think we need to have a boy, these two girls I've had so far have been nothing but trouble." & that was it & shortly thereafter, along I came. The first time I sat in my green '67 was 1980 & I & my uncle drove to the water treatment plant that he managed in town - Kenton, Manitoba.
