Re: Election hoopla

John, I remember that well. There was some concern that they would let us OUT after the exhibition!

I also remember that we had to place guards with the equipment truck, etc .. because stuff could 'grow legs'.

Re: Election hoopla

The Cadets also marched in the Kennedy parade in 1960. As we were waiting to start Kennedy's car came by. I remember seeing him and also being pushed by the crowd.

I also remember Dunning parade/exibition. I think that was 1964 and it was during the day. The corps was younger that year and only a few of the kids dudn't make the parade because of jobs. It was interesting. I saw the Garfield (or whereever they are from now) Cadets director, George Hopkings, reacting to his corps show at Leland Stanford Junior Univesity a few years ago and his antics reminded me of the reaction of the inmates at Dunning.
