I volunteered at the medic tent at Portland State during the demonstration, I was 16  years old. I remember being terrified at the aftermath of the demonstration and couldn't wait to head out to McIver Park. Vietnam..Nuclear power..The Weatherman..love those days!

There was a long walk to the park, first time I ever saw that many naked people in one place! I got high, danced, bathed in mud, jumped in the river and joined the people in the sweat lodge. I ate lentil soup (?) and listened to music..a few days of peace. Thanks Gov. McCall<3
