I suppose i could market it as a retrospective of the 60’s.

That decade is very “in” right now.

Very timely! Lots of interesting and cool things happened in the 60s. :)

The 60’s were profoundly affecting to me.

My dad grew up next to to Rose Kennedy, and my Uncle’s in-laws were the staff at the Hyannis compound. So, of course, the events of November 22, 1963 affected me deeply.

Then I got a guitar, and then I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.

And it got crazier from there.

Well, in 15 minutes I'm off to see "Thoroughly Modern Millie" on TCM.

Any lyricist, like Jimmy van Heusen, who can create an adjective like "Sodom-and-Gomorrable" has my undying admiration.

LOL!

What we think is chic, unique and quite adorable,
They think is odd and Sodom-and-Gomorrable...

My father was stationed there with the 2nd Marine Division from May 1958 to March 1960.

We lived in Jacksonville for much of that time waiting for base quarters. Not positive, but I believe we were not on base much more than 6 months before he was transferred to HQMC.

He hoped we could make a visit to Lejeune before he passed away in 2003, but were only able to visit PI (his last duty station, retired August 1965).

My father was an honorable man, a credit to the Corps. He died a Marine.

Last trip I took was several years ago, before my Dad started going downhill.

If payroll ever settles down I will take some time off. Might be awhile if the last month or so is any indication. d:o)

And today started out bad and got worse as the day went on. We are having a terrible time getting information to get to us correctly.
