I attended author Kitt Bakke's book release talk at UW last week. I really didn't know anything about her or her book, and I was amazed by what an adventurous life she has had.
What really made me think, was when she was talking about being a part of a radical group that protested against the Vietnam war. Well, my Dad was at Ohio State when all of the students were being gased and all of that protesting was going on. And Kitt said she was a part of the WA D.C. protest and other various important places such as Cuba. She really is a very interesting woman.
But this just got to me, so I called my Mom to talk to her about what my Dad experienced(he passed away a few years ago), and she didn't know. So I contacted his old college friend. Basiclly, by going to this one little extra assignment by Joe, I've made contact with one of my father's oldest friends, and I think that's one of the most important things I could take away from Kitt Bakke's book release.
