Sixties Field Trip

Robert Kennedy at Portland State, March 1968

Terry picked us up in her dad's car. We were headed to Portland to see Bobby Kennedy. We were stoked. We were skipping school and, we were driving a '67 Pontiac LeMans 2-door hardtop with bucket seats. Primo.

Three high-school seniors mingling and tingling amidst a sea of college students. RFK! RFK! Candidate and prince. Heavy.

At the end of the day, Terry and Kris dropped me back home and before they got a mile away, they were rear-ended. They weren't hurt, but that pristine, turquoise LeMans got creamed. Bummer.
