I can remember some things I did in 1967 but could not tell you for sure where I was on June 28 of that year (most likely at my parents' house)...but I definitely was not in England.

There was a "Blondie" strip once where Dagwood was mistakenly taken in for questioning by the police and they ask him what he was doing on a certain date many years in the past.

I know exactly where I was... I was at home on the farm and at some point during the day, I was discussing what was going on in Israel with my Dad. On June 28, 1967, Israel formally annexed East Jerusalem following the Six-Day War. My Dad was watching the Six-Day war like a hawk as he figured that outside of the birth of Israel, this was the most important event in his lifetime that pertained to the eschatology laid out in Scripture.

For me, June 28, 1967 was a rather ordinary Wednesday. It was hot and smoggy. I had early morning classes, so I had to wolf down breakfast. At around noon, I watched Donna Reed on our black-and-white TV while eating lunch. In addition, I probably grabbed the LA Times to read about the Vietnam War, Red China's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, in which I was intently interested, or about the LA Dodgers' subpar performance that season.

Meanwhile, I was looking forward to the upcoming holiday weekend, where we would watch fireworks at Anaheim Stadium, aka the Big A, a baseball field down in Anaheim located across the street from an orange grove. Periodically throughout the day, I would tune in to KWIZ, which blasted out Oldies at 1480 kilocycles on the AM band--It would be four years before I got my first FM radio--but I would occasionally surf over to Boss Radio 93 KHJ to keep track of the latest Top 40 hits.

Well I was 10 years old. I assume school had finished by late June and summer vacation was on. Earlier probably in April I watched the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup on a black and white tv. I know our family went to see the Expo 67 World’s Fair in Montreal later that summer as well. I had a few childhood friends from the street I lived on and we often played war in the ravine behind our school.
