Hi Danni,,,, darn,,,, look up the year on the web and see what comes up... .i was 12 then myself..and I dont remember ...lol
Probably something in Viet-Nam going on,,, and or the Civil Rights Movement..... that was the two big things back then.... that was before all the riots,protest marches, and killings happened on the University scene.....
Lets see,,, Ford came out with the 1965 and 1/2 mustang.... that was big news.....also.....
good luck
