The country desperately needed a respite from the y ear before. 1968 was as bad as 1969 was “good.” The Chicago Democratic Con vention was certainly a watershed event. And of course the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy defined that year. After assassina tions\, riots\, wars and general social unrest\, the country needed hope\ , inspiration and rest. That was the summer of '69... when amazing things happened.\n\nApollo 11\nOn July 20\, 1969\, After hundreds of thous ands of years of occupancy\, mankind at last left the planet and took the first steps on a world that was not his own. Apollo Astronauts Neil Armstr ong and Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin became the first human beings in history to wa lk on the moon\, and a Grumman Lunar Module is what got them there.\n\n Woodstock\nThe Woodstock Music and Arts Fair began on August 15\, 1969 and ran throughout the weekend. 186\,000 tickets were sold for the concer t\, but when more showed up than expected\, it became a free concert drawi ng over 1/2 million young men and women to listen to some of the best Rock and Roll acts of the 1960s. It is known as one of the most pivotal moment s in American culture and Rock and Roll history.\n\nThe idea for the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Fair\, known simply as the 'Woodstock Festival\,' wa s conceived by friends Michael Lang and Artie and Linda Kornfeld at the Ko rnfeld's apartment in Manhattan. Together\, they were joined by entrepren eurs Joel Rosenman and John Roberts to become the team responsible for org anizing this landmark event that defined an entire generation -- the 'Wood stock Generation.' \n\nArtie Kornfeld is a legendary composer\, publisher\ , producer\, manager and promoter. Born in Brooklyn and having grown-up o n New York's Long Island\, Artie exhibited an interest in music at an earl y age\, and began pursuing his musical career while still in high school. By the time he was 24\, Kornfeld had written many top Billboard 100 hit s ongs\, including 'The Pied Piper\,' and was hired as the first-ever Vice P resident of Rock & Roll in the music industry by Capitol Records. Artists signed\, developed and/or promoted by Artie include Neil Young\, Survivor \, Debbi Harry\, Bruce Springsteen\, Jan and Dean\, Sheryl Crow\, Melissa Etheridge and many more. Artie will be at the exhibit to meet and greet pe ople on Saturday July 12 from 11am-1pm and 2-4pm.\n\nMiracle Mets\n During the Summer of 69 the nation also witnessed one of the largest turna rounds in MLB history. The 'Miracle Mets\,' had risen from the depths of m ediocrity and achieved the first winning record in Mets history. The 1969 Mets became the first expansion team to win a division title\, a pennant\, and the World Series\, winning in only their eighth year of existence.\n \nIn all the Summer of '69 was a period when our Nation was able to take a deep breath from the tumultuous times\; it was a remarkable few months fi lled with pride\, excitement and hope. The events of 45 years ago still re sonate with the world today and even still help shape our future.\n\nThe C radle of Aviation Museum will celebrate the Summer of '69 through a series of events.
