Rev. Billy Graham Revival in
Knoxville - May 29, 1970
During the early 1970's many may
remember that there was a lot of campus unrest. I had the opportunity along
with several friends at the time to travel to Neyland Stadium to attend the Graham
revival whereupon President Richard Nixon appeared. You might remember what was
happening in the country and overseas at this time. Many called this MY HIPPIE
DAYS. I think that someone got me mixed up with a fellow sitting
a few seats from me by the name of Carol Bible. Mr. Bible is circled in the
picture at the bottom of the page and got an entire photo opportunity upon his
arrest. Also I understand that several of the Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS) militant faction "The Weather Underground" were in the stands that evening. If anyone would like to
watch the movie at the end of this page it has a color clip of the Neyland
Stadium visit of Nixon with Graham about midway through the movie. I recommend
it to anyone interested in this little bit of history. This page has some
letters from my brother during the evacuation five years later of
the American Embassy as Americans were pulling out of the not only Cambodia
but Laos and Vietnam.

Notice the
guy circled.
Must be lost somewhere in the evolutionary chain but his heart was in the
right place.
 You might recognize me in the lower picture. The couple lower left.
