“Throwback Thursday” is a popular social media trend in which internet users on Thursdays log on to websites such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr and post photos from the distant (and sometimes not so distant) past. The Abington Journal is joining the fun and digging through archives for small pieces of life in the Abingtons from years past. This week’s journey takes us back 46 years to Thursday, Oct. 3, 1968.
