5. A memory from someone who actually attended the Woodstock concert.From: internet (Cheryl Morse)

When Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young opened their set with "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," she said the energy in the crowd was intoxicating. And she can still picture folk musicians Arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez performing in the rain Friday night.

"It was like being totally shut off from the rest of the world for three days, with nonstop music by world-class musicians playing their hearts out… for our party," she said.

"Until [then], I had not thought about the outside world at all," Morse said. "That was when I slowly began to comprehend the impact the gathering was having on the country."

Woodstock, Morse explained, "came at a pivotal point in history," when the Vietnam War and subsequent anti-war movement were in full swing.

11. A personal account from someone who lived under a Communist nation, then immigrated to the USA & their first impressions of the USA.From: Debbie’s mom

When did you move to the US? 1995Why did you move to the US? I always wanted new challenges, and I

wanted to experience a new world. The wave of immigration to study abroad from China just started, and a lot of young people tried to go to other countries to study.

What was your first impression? I was so excited because everything looked so new and different to me. I didn’t see many people on the street during the day. The environment looked so clean and nice.

16. A personal memory from someone who lived in a place without indoor plumbing.From: Debbie’s mom

I lived with my grandparents in a small village when I was little. There was no plumbing in the village. We had to use water from the river behind the village for our daily needs. We went to a public bathroom outside of the house during the day and used a pot during the night. We had to boil water to take a hot bath at home.

25. Opinions of the internet (20s,40s,60s, 80s yrs) From: Debbie’s Grandpa

I do not have an opinion on the internet because I do not use the computer. It is too confusing and the technology is too advanced. It’s not necessary because I can get news from the radio, newspapers, and TV.

30. Where somebody you know well was when he or she first heard that President Reagan had been shot.From: Dr. Hoppe

I was in Baltimore at Hopkins. I probably heard about it while I was in the lab by word of mouth or over the news/radio. It was downplayed at first, but we learned hours later how serious it actually was. It became very obvious. And then we learned his chief of staff had been critically wounded. The American people felt violated. People thought it was a conspiracy.

33. A memory from someone who knows who Ralph Nader is, and what his impact was on the USA during the 1970’s and 1980’s. From: Dr. HoppeFrom: Dr. Hoppe

I think he had a huge impact because he was advocating fighting for things, for everybody in the consumer area. He ran for president a couple of times based on his reputation for honesty and caring. I respected what he said. I read what he said. He advocated for all sorts of things: food, cars, the environment. He had some pretty powerful enemies in industry.

was such a clear day● People in my building were panicking and running down the stairs● The sky was pitch black and debris started leaking into the building● People brought down buckets and rags, and we put wet rags over our
