38 years ago...

Thirty-eight years ago, I was a freshman at The Ohio State University. On May 4, 1970, four students were killed at Kent State University by the Ohio National Guard. One of the students killed, Sandy Scheuer, had attended the same high school as I did. There is a Youtube video here with the song by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Please also visit Crooks and Liars for their piece on the Kent State killings. It may seem like a long time ago to some people, but the events and emotions of the spring of 1970 still remain with me and others.
