It Happened in 1967

1967 was an interesting year. The Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl I against the Kansas City Chiefs, 35 - 10. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series. The number 1 song for the year was "Kind of a Drag" by The Buckinghams (no, I don't remember it either). The number one movie was "The Dirty Dozen." The Academy Award for Best Picture was for "In the Heat of the Night." The most popular TV show for the year was "The Andy Griffith Show" followed closely by "The Lucy Show." Congress created the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

More seriously, Israel won the Six-Day War and China exploded its first hydrogen bomb. Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first black Supreme Court justice and astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee were killed in a fire during a test in their capsule. Dr. Christian Barnard conducted the first heart transplant, but the patient died 18 days later.

The price of a first-class stamp was 5 cents and gas was about 35 cents a gallon.

More specifically, on July 1, 1967, The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" went to number one on the charts. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) conducted its first color broadcast and "Funny Girl" closed on Broadway.

Perhaps most importantly, at least for Betty and me, is we were married on July 1, 1967 at St. Bartholomews Episcopal Church in Nashville, Tennessee. We had a simple, but beautiful wedding followed by a reception in the church fellowship hall with a wedding cake, mints, peanuts, and punch. Afterwards we drove to Jekyll Island, Georgia for a week's honeymoon.


We celebrated our 41st anniversary today by going to see "WALL E' which was great and going to The Golden Corral (world's greatest pig-out place) for lunch.


Betty and I went together for six years before we were married. We met in High School when we were both sixteen (Awwwwwww). So, we've been sweethearts for 47 years.

It's been a great 41 years (plus 6)!

Today is July 1 and if today is your Birthday you share your day with: Us and our 41st anniversary, Liv Tyler (actress - "Lord of the Rings"), Pamela Anderson (actress? - "Baywatch"), Princess Diana (one-time future Queen of England), Dan Akroyd (comedian - "Saturday Night Live," "The Blues Brothers"), Jamie Farr (Klinger on M.A.S.H.), Olivia DeHavilland (actress - Melanie in "Gone With The Wind"), Charles Laughton (actor - "Hunchback of Notre Dame," and "Mutiny on tne Bounty"), and Gittfried Leibnez (German composer).

  4. What a beautiful post. What a beautiful couple! My daughter (16) has found the love of her life in a 16 yr old boy. Emphasis on BOY. She wants that kind of love. The kind that we hardly ever hear about in today's day. She wants to marry him and he wants to marry her. I doubt it will happen but hey, you never know. We are fond of him, he is a hard working country boy (or redneck as she says)and he treats her good. For now that is all I can hope for. There are so many marriages that end in divorce. I can't say I have not been there, in fact twice. I didn't choose very well for the first 2. My hubby now is a definate keeper. We have been married 12yrs, altho it seems much longer, and I mean that in a good way. He has been the daddy that my kids really never had, especially my 16yr old daughter. He has been in her life since the age of 2. In fact he happened to be at the hospital the day she was born and held her within 8 hours of her birth.

    Happy Anniversary you two. Here's to 41 more!
