3. I'm pretty antique myself!

I did a great deal of protesting, sit-ins, letter writing, campaigning, etc. when I was much younger. A few of my closest friends had their heads bashed in, or got tear-gassed at some point.... one woman, a doctor, still has a big scar on her forehead from the '68 democratic convention protests where a cop used his billy-club. Now I mostly write letters, donate where I can, and cheer on the younger set! And, of course, I VOTE.
