Time Machine: 1968 Democratic HQ, Wilmore, Kentucky

Remembering November 5, 1968

 In 1968 I was very active along with Ed Johnson (Later Judge Edward Johnson, of the Georgia Court of Appeals) and a few others in the tiny Asbury College Young Democrats. History professor "Ms Chic" Ciccarello was our sponsor. We opened and staffed a part-time headquarters in the tiny business section of Main Street in Wilmore, KY near the railroad tracks.

Somehow in the fall of '68 our YD group managed to pay a sign painter to do up this indoor sign for the HQ -- I suppose on butcher paper. It is about sixteen feet long and three feet wide. It spanned one whole wall of the HQ which we rented on Main Street in the village of Wilmore.

Somewhere I have an old b&w photo of some of us in the HQ with this sign behind us.
