Reply #45: Johnson and Nixon. I started early.

[Ken Burch]

I was against the war as a very young person, and remember listening to Gene McCarthy speak in Salem during the Oregon primary campaign of '68. In '72 I was the only person in 6th grade at my school who supported McGovern against Nixon.

I had an older brother and sister at the University of Oregon, who took me down there on weekends sometimes and exposed me to activists and protesters of various stripes during the '68 through '73 or '74 period.
