August 1972

Where were you in August 1972 and what were you doing? I was living in Buffalo Grove, IL. Yes, I used to live in a town by that name. I know one thing for sure, I was listening to this on the radio..

Other things I remember about that year...

I was finishing up my sophomore year of high school and started my junior year.

I was going to Adlai Stevenson High School in Libertyville, IL.

I turned 16 in August and got my drivers licence.

I also got to turn in my ugly thick glasses for contacts. No one recognized me at the beginning of the new school year!

A few items making news:

Jane Fonda made an antiwar broadcast from a hotel room in Hanoi on August 22.

The 1972 Summer Olympics opened on August 26th in Munich, West Germany and turned terrible on September 5th and 6th with the Munich Massacre.
