Another educator came in and said put your TV on. I called off the ongoing activity and we all witnessed the replay of the incident. Some of the boys asked who that guy was, others, more informed, asked what is going to happen in Vietnam? Or do you think there will be a war?<br />Yes even in Canada there was grief and concern. And there is still a lingering feeling, after all these years, that not all has been said.potsochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497735324298117643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448988261434615576.post-75595312586618773322010-01-31T10:16:15.830-08:002010-01-31T10:16:15.830-08:00I was a freshman in college, 3 or 4 hours away fro...I was a freshman in college, 3 or 4 hours away from home. I remember calling home on the payphone in tears to see if my parents had heard the news.
