Souvenir Friday- Yippie Thanks Letter

Quite a find indeed! And as a veteran of that day, I am kicking myself for not keeping this doucment, among so many others that I accumulated during my tenure as a CM. 43 years ago...and I can recall it all. Wow, what a flashback.

Wish the Register was still so 100% on-the-money.

Super cool find. In one version that I heard, Nunis punched one of the Yippees in the nose up by Town Square as he was refusing to leave the park.

(sigh) The author of the piece confuses peace loving hippies with the Yuppies.

I hope Orange County is not so conservative as it was in those days.
