We used to have an older lady living across the street. I had a big black lab that sounded fierce when he barked. He got out once and when I got home, here was this big bad dog cowering on our front porch while this little old lady pointed her finger at him. I never messed with Edna after that either.

Were you born before or after the first Earth Day celebration ?

I seem to recall being in HS, as a student, for the First Earth Day, and as a part of the Student Government's efforts, making posters for the halls, and putting up bulletin boards where we could. We also cleaned-up the grounds around the school, and some of the clubs and organizations planted things native to the area -- azaleas, dogwoods, some perennials.

1970 - The first Earth Day was observed -- with the purpose of reclaiming the purity of the air we breathe, the water we drink and the environment we live in. With the slogan “Give Earth a Chance,”

I still have, in my button collection (the type you pin-on), several Earth Day buttons, including the first which does read Give Earth a Chance encircling the world.

My Father, die-hard conservative, saw it all as 'some more of that Hippie crap.'
