I'm a US Marine currently serving active duty. While I'm not hip myself (apparently enough) I've been researching the 60's and the hippy movement because I find that era fascinating. My mother, the best person I know, was in the movement and lived the dream herself in 1968-69 when she came to California for a short time. I'm a really laid-back person who loves to listen to people from all walks of life and learn from their experiences. With a nice cold beer. Which is what I'm drinking right now.
