Summit Journal Chat

Interesting thoughts. What would we be commemorating? Back in the '60s, there were things called "happenings" - short term gatherings of whatever sort that occurred and disappeared. But left a mark on those who attended or heard about it. Woodstock maybe?? For me, SJC was an internet "happening" -though more long lived than most. In 1996, the internet was just in it's earliest stages and I was really astonished by how SJC evolved and at the friends I made - most of whom I still have not met. The Union in Boulder would not have happened in the pre-internet age. So for me, remembering May '96 is like remembering Woodstock for those who were there. In the grand scheme of things, not very important, but meaningful for those who participated.

Which is not to say that I have any better ideas than those that have been suggested as to what to do. ;-)

Best regards,
