Congrats OBRAG…wow 14 years went by fast!
What is your book about?
It’s a day-to-day narrative of the May 1970 national student strike.
I hope you took good notes and lots of photos :-)
When completed….book release party, please.
Congrats to Frank and the rest of the OBRag staff. I get a lot of useful information from your website.
Go for another 14 years. I’ll keep on reading. Larry
