11. That was a tense night in 1969. Mine was in the high 200's
which pretty much was a relief, although many of my friends didn't fare that well. It was then and there that some of their lives were drastically changed. I remember all the bars giving free drinks that night to anyone whose number was 1. What a bummer.
