NPR ran a good piece on this, today. When they put the archive up, I will post a link. Today was the first time all nine survivors got together to remember.

Interesting how a date can put things in perspective and bring things to mind. I had turned 17 just about 5 weeks before Kent State and when it come down, my son was 7 days old. I remember the news and crying, but out there in Western Colorado, things in Ohio seemed far, far away.

This has been very interesting to read. Thank you all for your thoughts and for sharing.
