I was there but was in the womb at the time. Made my official debut a couple months later.

Those assemblies were in reflection a form a child abuse, for making children sit still for hours on end in one spot and many times in the direct sun, listening to garble coming from a poorly sounding PA systems.
Looking at these pictures gives me a lot of bad memories.

I'm to young to have experienced any of the 10-12 hr days. I can only imagine how horrible it must of been, I can't even stomach 1 hr of that nonsense anymore. But I think our past has the ability to make us stronger and more resilient human beings. But I do agree it must of been pure torture. -

I can't hardly stand 3 days conventions, let alone 10 day conventions. -

Thanks for the memories Mark of Cane.
They reveal so much that I wouldn't have picked up on while a member.
