Did those 2 Cool Boys from Brooklyn Get Drafted?
STORY BY: Brenda Friesen
YEAR: 1969
LOCATION: Winnipeg, MB
At 14 , Brenda's "way cooler" cousin from Gastown, Vancouver came to visit her in Manitoba. She took the artist to the Winnipeg Art Gallery, where met two boys from Brooklyn, NY. They hung around together all day, even getting kicked out of The English Garden. The guys were about to head home to the USA, expecting their draft cards to arrive in the mail. Brenda wonders whatever became of them, and if they ever went to fight in Vietnam. Thanks for sharing, Brenda.
