Bustin' Chops (Too): Wtf? - Paperback

by Gary T. Ocallaghan (Author)

Short story humor from the author's adventures at Mary Jane Kennedy Elementary School in the Chicago suburb of Westchester, IL. Relive the 1960's with friends and foes which culminate in a 1969 grand finale graduation. 1969...what a year this was going to be! The Apollo 11 mission was going to land the first man on the moon; Boeing's 747 jumbo jet would make its debut; the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, which would define the American muscle car, was going to be introduced; some 500,000 rock-n-roll fans would attend Woodstock to hear the likes of Janis Joplin, Santana, The Grateful Dead, Credence Clearwater, The Who, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash; the Beatles would have their last public performance on the roof of Apple Records; Chappaquiddick and Ted Kennedy would become infamous; PBS would be established; Charles Manson's cult of lunatics would murder five people; Richard Nixon would become president; the Chicago Cubs appear to be headed to the World Series. And most important of all: We were in eighth grade and going to Washington D.C.
