Continuing the post on 1963 first, here is some more from that year:
 
         --March on Washington
         --MLKjr. I Have a Dream speech
        
         --Assassination of America's Fisher-King, JFK, of course, in November
  
         --for the first time, freshman females in the US answer a longstanding goals poll by not putting
marriage w white picket fence house and kids first. (still want that, but adventure, travel, chance
to be single awhile comes first)
