I have been immersed in the '60's of late... my partner created and is directing a play to be presented Saturday...

"We Had a Dream" I have had to go over all the speeches and photos from the time (to present, all the ups and downs)

it is a powerful play, and I know I will cry as I try to assist with the production Saturday.

edit: oh, I just noticed a typo in the ad that I hadn't seen before... of course the date is 1963!
