Last week my Friday With Fred blog was about the Anubis Horribus year of 1968, eg, 2 assassinations and my friend David Berger suggested I lighten it up by blogging about the wonderful subsequent year.  

1969 has been called The Year That Shook the World.  

Pictured are many of the wonderful highlights of a wonderful bounce-back year!

For me, a Sports Fan (Fanatic) 1969 was uniquely wonderful. 

And here we go: At least as to New York sports teams, The Amazin’ Mets win the World Series, Broadway Joe Namath successfully predicted the Jets Super Bowl win and Willis Reed limped dramatically onto the Madison Square Garden court to inspire the Knicks 7th game title win!!!

Quite a trifecta!!!
