I found a journal I kept in 1969

[debodun]

I was rummaging through a drawer I hadn't looked in since moving. I found a diary I kept while taking a summer course in geology at Syracuse University in the summer (June 29 - Aug 8) of 1969 between my junior and senior year in high school. I was thinking of putting it into computer text and printing it on a daily basis when done, but a fair amount has to do with technical science in which most people wouldn't be interested or things that happened during my stay there. I will do it if enough people would be interested. Majority wins. Let me know in this thread - Yes or No.

Yes, skip the technical stuff and tell us about the nightlife on Marshall Street in the 60s.

Sorry, I wasn't a party girl despite it being the 1960s.

Yes!

Yes.

Not to take away from your news, but I have kept a daily journal most all of my adult life. I have no intentions of posting it anywhere, but I will look forward to reading whatever you care to share of your life in those years.

Looks like everyone that responded so far is a YES. It may take me a few days to put in text.

Take your time. We are in no hurry.

 

[Llynn]

I wouldn't be interested in reading it. Nothing personal, just not a topic of interest to me.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Yes.

Me too!

Note to self: BURN THAT JOURNAL!

Oh It's not bad, Aunt Bea - but then, I pick and choose what gets recorded.

Good idea, back in the late 80s when the Mrs and I were living in separate places as I got our first actually owned property up n running I / we started a daily diary to keep up to date, it continued for the next 20 years or so.
Old fellow rereading thinks did we really do all that with so little........
BUT think I will keep them for the kids to share with theirs.......
