You did a great job with your contest entry, Mystery Author. You gave readers an idea of that period of time when rock and roll was the thing and Viet Nam was the monster. I like the family setting and the dialogue. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

I am delighted you enjoyed my story, Jan, and like how I told it. So much happened in that decade, both plus and negative.
Comment from Dilettante junior
Great job. I believe this is a fine piece. It dazzles in a tight knit family culture that most would envy. It is also warm with happiness all around. The ending is unexpected with a sad turn. Bravo! Nicely told!

Comment from Melodie Michelle
I would consider single spacing and not double spacing because it makes it too difficult to follow!
Excellent story! The storyline is intriguing and interesting;-) Well written indeed!
Thanxxx for sharing and may God bless you and your family;-)

Thank you, Melodie, for your praise of my story and suggestion. Usually readers complain single spacing is too hard to read.
Comment from Susan Newell
There are many of us here who have very similar memories. I was a teen in the sixties and watched male friends head for Nam and elsewhere. Those were turbulent times, but also some of my best memories come from those years. Excellent closing line. Great contest entry.

Oh, you have summed up the decade terrifically. I was in my 20s and indeed I witnessed ?turbulent times.? Many thanks for sharing, Susan.
