Gone to Pot

by Karl Manke

s this story for you? This story is a daring view into the underbelly of the sixties and seventies. For all of you who survived these tumultuous times, this account will serve as a recollection. This story is also for all of you who weren't there and may wonder if you could have survived. In either case, this story is a revealing adventure. The characters in this story come alive in telling ways-their altruistic ideals, their efforts, their misguided expectations, their successes and failures are distinctive in crazy ways and hit a nerve in all of us. To say this period of American culture is anything less than pivotal is an understatement. The effects this era's fallout has had on values, morality, and politics have become no less than worldwide.

At first it was a real slog to get into the story, and eventually I started to feel for the four main people, even when one died. I loved how some of them grew and changed, one never did.
