Watching with a bunch of other kids from around the nation on a black and white TV in the basement rec room of Daniels Hall on the campus of the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana between my junior year and senior years in high school, because myself and about 50 others nationwide had been chosen for a special summer NSF program of super accelerated engineering and related courses taught as regular college courses by regular college professors. we also had the full college experience, attending a Joan Baez concert, Fellini movies at the Student Union, 4th of July fireworks in the football stadium, and a host of other experiences ... probably the most influential weeks of my life ... I still have very fond memories of that campus ...
Whoa. I was in that same program at the university then known only as Virginia Polytechnic Institute. We had been out on a tour that day and got as far back as a stock arena when we ran out of time. Set up chairs and a TV on the dirt floor and watched the thing from there. Surreal experience.
