Jan Kastberg oral history recording
Description
An audio recording of an oral history of Jan Katsberg on the Vietnam War. Jan Katsberg graduated from Hillsboro High School in 1966 and went on to college. Katsberg's twin brother enlisted in the National Guard and her husband was in the Navy, assigned to an aircraft carrier off the coast of Vietnam. Katsberg does not recall any protests in Hillsboro, but some in Portland, at Portland State University, and in California. With regard to societal trends at the time, she states that Veterans were respected in the Hillsboro area and generally speaking, people supported the war. Additionally, she remembers the increase in hippie culture, specifically in Eugene, as well as the rising popularity in drug consumption.
