A quick slice of the late‑60s— 1968 Hilton Head Island in their own words. We want to tell you about a trip We took a year ago that took us into an area that my wife had been researching for some time Magazines began to be left open at my side of the table and up on my headboard And there was a kind of a concerted Education campaign for a place called Hilton Head Island And you know there still aren’t too many people who know where it is when the topic comes up people say Where’s that Hilton Head Island is in South Carolina, but just off the coast of Georgia and It’s a fabulous spot. It seems to me for a family vacation be great for couples but we took all of our children and we did it during spring vacation which I think is the duriest time of the whole year here because it isn’t really spring yet and Everybody’s sort of sick and tired of winter So it’s a good time to get away and the weather at that time of year at Hilton Head just spectacular We flew from Chicago down to Atlanta You can then pick up another flight and fly from Atlanta to Savannah Georgia But since we had not driven across that part of the southeast from Atlanta to coastline We rented a Hertz car piled our suitcases right in at the airport and then with our roadmap took off We got down to Atlanta about nine o’clock in the morning We run away by about 9 30 and it took the better part of the day. Yes, the roads are not great I mean there are no super highways that leads you directly to Hilton Head So if you don’t want to drive across Georgia, you’d better just fly all the way to Savannah And then it’s I think 20 or 25 miles from there and though it is an island There’s a bridge out to it.

Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1969 Gourmet Society in their own words. Joe and I are members of a gourmet society. The name of our society is La Société pour la cuisine international This allows us to eat at all sorts of restaurants, not just French restaurants And I’m going to talk to each member and see what he or she has gotten out of this thing. One thing that I particularly remember is the turbo at the press club That was one of the most outstanding dishes I’ve ever had in my life.

Here’s one from the stack—easygoing and chatty: 1969 Cabaret in their own words. We did now It’s only got two three weeks left So we saw it the other night went backstage to say hello to Melissa Hart Who’s an old friend from around these parts lots of friends She went to school here was at Northwestern in second city and we enjoyed the show very much I had not read the book or seen the play before, you know, it’s based on I am a camera and has to do with Germany before Hitler took over this also as a period in history that I never really studied very much about did you I was a little boy And I wasn’t aware of the the great pangs and struggled at Germany was going through well I don’t think any of us here were I don’t think it was ours to study It seemed very unimportant and had anybody realized the importance of it Maybe Hitler wouldn’t have taken over and I think that’s the whole picture that cabaret presents and perhaps it has a sort of message for us Sure, but it is that feeling that life was so gay in Berlin Everybody was having so much fun and if the name Hitler or if a swastika armband appeared people almost tried not to notice They just didn’t want to be bothered because life was a cabaret There’s only one moment of violence and yet being just the one small moment it tremendously symbolic the shop of The Jewish gentleman the middle age to elderly Jewish gentlemen There was a brick thrown through a window and I I got the the tremendous Impact of what was to come in a way you’re in a way looking down on all those little people on that little globe and watching them Struggle and you could get the feeling of the terrible things that were to happen in Germany I like the show I don’t think I would recommend it for the entire family because since it does show Like the rise and fall of the Grecian Empire the Roman Empire when the world gets into a stage where Men are slobs women don’t care about themselves and just a complete mess in the country It doesn’t make for the kind of theater that I would want a small child see do we agree? Yes, I agree I think however that it in this particular show It is in its place that the authors were attempting to show us that the German people The society as a whole was sliding downhill some In contrast to the moment of violence at the end of the first act when they sang tomorrow belongs to me You got the great feeling of this pulling together of the young band of Nazis Who? Invited to a party that was not Nazi still all of a sudden this song drew them together and You saw the power of the youth in that country at that time Yeah, I think the most exciting thing of all for Chicagoans is to see Melissa Hart in the show however and everybody got to go See it just for that reason alone because a Sally Hart as we’ve known her and it’s I think is the name She used at second city is just such a delight to watch on stage.
