Sort of ironic that he went to Kent State.

Thank you for sharing this. When in college at MSU (Michigan State University) I lived in the womens' dorm (yes back then we had single sex dorms) which was connected by underground tunnel and lounge areas to the men's dorm where the campus headquarters of SDS were. I will never forget when my then boyfriend told me my father had called him and asked that if things got "out of control" with SDS would he go get me and take me back to his dorm.....never in a million years would I have thought my dad would ask a male to take me back to his dorm....Those were turbulent years. I will never forget the shock and pain of Kent State. To this day other than Good Morning Vietnam I have not watched a single Vietnam movie. Lived it once don't really want to live it again.
