I would have been happy to see CSN&Y back in 74, but now, not so much. They've toured through this area a couple times in the last few years, but I'd rather remember them as they were when we all were younger.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy Florida!<BR/><BR/>D.C.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461006644312781883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28632024.post-54680484945919797432009-03-14T20:28:00.000-04:002009-03-14T20:28:00.000-04:00Hi David,Down in Florida visiting the folks, and g...Hi David,<BR/>Down in Florida visiting the folks, and getting away from Wyoming for awhile.<BR/>My unique connection to Spiro is somewhat weird.<BR/>My freshman year of college at Wake Forest University, a gentleman by the name of Congressman Ford was the president of Wake's version of a PTA. My folks received monthly letters from him about college activities, and other things PTA's did. His son was a student at the time, I think a senior, and I was a freshman. This was the fall of 1973. Well, we all know what happened in 1974, and my college PTA president became our US President. And the day Nixon left office, that August of 74, I was at a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young concert at Roosevelt Stadium in New Jersey. <BR/>You stirred up some sleeping brain cells.<BR/>Thanks for the post.Rube Goldberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617302769130192903noreply@blogger.com
