The 60's - Diane Silverston

At the start of the decade I became a teenager, at boarding school, beginning to be independent.

During the middle 60’s I moved schools, then went to Teacher’s Training College.

Personal, national and international events of the time affected my life. My Mother’s and Grandmother’s deaths. The Beatles music, Flower Power and clothes.

J.F.Kennedy and Martin Luther King being shot.

At the end of the decade I was 22, in Southend and starting my teaching career.
