In fact, it was one of the first times my dad and I got into a near knock down, drag out. To his favor, it didn't take much to change his mind. He fought in WWII and saw the similarities with what was beginning here. And eventually, he became one of the loudest voices against the action taken at Kent State... although I don't think he ever did "get" where we young people were coming from. I rally tomorrow in his name. As a Medic in the Army in WWII, he saw some of the worst of what people will do to other people. He would be rallying if he were still here. Since he isn't, I carry on in his name for my generation.
