Hello, my name is Jennifer McCombs and I am a writer for The College Times in Tempe, Arizona. I am planning on doing a story on the evolution of hippie culture from the 1960's to today. I am wondering if the ideas behind what it means to be a hippie has faded with only an image ideal left. I would really like to speak with a few people, some who were considered to be 'hippies' in the 60's and others who are younger and live the lifestyle of a hippie today. I will leave you my email address so you can respond to this posting. I am not sure how this works. I think this forum is for people all over the world and I figure the more the better right. It seems that there still is a huge following but limited acceptance in today's society. If anyone would like to be interviewed for my story just email me back. Thanks and I look foward to hearing from some of you. Jennifer McCombs jc8285@aol.com
