1972 the year I graduated high school, 50 years ago, can't believe I am still here!

[scofab]

I was six years old, and 1972 was the last happy year in my life for quite a while. My father died in March of '73, leaving me in the hands of a religion-crazed mother who dispensed both physical and mental abuse freely according to the perceived ideals of those she surrounded herself with.
My father had a Bardahl PAM clock hung in his shop, which I cherished above all else after he was gone. She destroyed it one day with ignorance and contact paper... because she didn't like it.
I now have that clock (well, identical) hanging in my shop... and in near-mint condition, as I remember it, and indeed a lot of other things from that era.
Sorry TMI... this video brought back lots of memories. Thank you.

Graduated HS in '72. Probably one of the best years of my life.

A friend of mine said I'm always talking about the past. Why not? It's the present I'm trying to forget.

I was in the 5th grade in 72'. A kid could still safely walk to school by themselves. Mom & Pop candy stores were still in effect. And red dye #5 made cakes, donuts, and anything sweet taste like heaven. People burned trash out back in the alley. I could go on. Good year

Also in 1972…
Emergency! starring Robert Fuller, Julie London, Bobby Troup, Randolph Mantooth, and Kevin Tighe premiered on NBC.

1972 was my first year of life. I remember absolutely nothing about it but it was obviously a great year because I had arrived! 🙂

In June of 1972, Elvis Presley performed in concert for three nights at the Madison Square Garden in New York City after releasing his next album entitled "Burning Love."

Please make these "flashback to" videos longer with more content. I'm really enjoying the walks through yesteryear. Thanks! I've subscribed.

I was 17 and graduated from High school that spring of 1972 and had already brought a beautiful 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix months before and moved out on my own that June and had a ball that summer That year and 1968 to 1972 were the happiest years of my life just hoping I have some more as happy as them!

[davidsquires]

I was 15 years old and in high school.
I was born in 1957. Time really flies by, I am now 64 years old.

I was a junior in H.S. in 1972. Great times. Thanks for the memories!

What a walk down memory lane for us older ones. I truly enjoy every video on Recollection Road.

Turned six in '72 .. this year was when I first started to become aware of culture and the world around us ... needless to say it was a much simpler and cherished time .. thank you

[martinpennock]

Ah yes! The year I graduated high school. Last summer before college. What a different world. It just seemed to fly by.

[Exotic]

I like these flashbacks. The 7+ minutes is the perfect length!

[Cryo]

Graduated from HS in spring of 1972. I had a draft number of 126 from the year's draft lottery. Literally dodged a bullet as the war ramped down that summer. Wilt Chamberlain was the GOAT. Glad that his team won the NBA championship.

[djbigpean]

There was a great Rock show, called The midnight special, that premier that year.

Great upload. You know, you could do a two-hour upload covering everything you could think of about a given year, and there are still going to be people who will pick the video apart about what you DIDN'T mention. Thanks for what you do.
