You flash back to 1975. Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme is convicted of pointing a gun at then-President Gerald Ford in Sacramento, California. Secret Service agents prevented her from firing, but the gun was later found to have no bullet in the chamber, although it contained a clip of ammunition. It is said that for years she revoked her right to a parole hearing and remained one of Manson’s followers as others of the Manson Family left the fold. (The infamous Manson Family Murders occurred in the summer of 1969) Fromme, now 60, is set to be released on parole August 16.

Speaking of flashbacks let’s not forget the Apollo 11 Moon landing, and also the biggest event ever of it’s kind going on in the summer of ’69 WOODSTOCK!
