Don't believe it - people DO read! I remember the stories first-hand from your return from Charlotte and Philadelphia! What fun, indeed.
Two of my Great-Aunts were delegates to the 1964 Republican Convention at the Cow Palace. My entire family had been Kennedy Liberals but they thought Nixon was da bomb. He was - the bomb that really started the spiral downturn of the Republican Party. He was a crook - and so much worse.
I was an Alternate Delegate to the 1964 Convention in Atlantic City. We had wonderful gatherings on the Beach where we mingled with Delegates from everywhere whenever the Convention was not in session. It was there that our NY Delegation met with Robert Kennedy when our State Chair introduced him as our candidate for U.S. Senate. In the Convention, among other things, we booed Strom Thurmond, refused to seat the Mississippi delegation and nominated Pres. Johnson and VP Herbert Humphrey. Other shenanigans occurred, but not fit to print.
