250th Anniversary

[Okiepan]

Hard to believe next year will be the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and this year is the start of the 250th anniversary of the American revolution, So who remembers what you did during the Bicentennial 1976 ???

It was the summer between my 10th and 11th grade years in High School. I lived in my home town. Population 5000. There was a festival at the county fairgrounds with a pretty impressive fireworks show. It was a great time.

I remember watching the 4th of July fireworks show in the little town of Cartersville, GA that has not been equalled since!

Our daughter was born in May, 1977.

Was living and working in NYC at the time. Got to watch the first ever Tall Ships parade sail down the Hudson River. Despite large crowds under and on top of streets, everyone was in a good mood and behaved themselves that day.

Prior to creating our daughter, I spent the night of July 4, 1976 in the ICU of Missouri's College of Veterinary Medicine, taking care of the day's surgical patients.  One was a 100 lb. + German Shepherd named Heinz, who was sensitive about anyone interested in his anal operation.  I missed out on the fireworks at the football stadium.

We’d just moved to Casa Grande, Az. from Sheridan, Wyoming and couldn’t believe the heat. My oldest daughter had just been delivered by a doctor in his little office. She wasn’t going to wait to be born in a hospital.

I think it’s the 251st anniversary of the American Revolution.

My father loaded all us into a rented motorhome and drove us across the country to see things like the tall ships in New York.  We visited Boston Harbor, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island where my mother had come through.....  Lots of cool things.

We went to a local park that had fireworks and a celebration.

Right, I was looking at deflation as 250, it’s 249.

I was 6 at the time. I remember going down to the tracks and watching the freedom train go by.
