  i remember as a child in the 1980's attending four day conventions.

  i know in the past conventions were even longer.

  does anyone know how long they use to last and the approximate years?

  DOC, you really bring back memories...I remember the numerous first aid stations all over the Rose Bowl primarily equipped with surplus military stretchers. I remember the constant movement of people (mostly elderly) on stretchers due to heat and sun exposure. There was even an ambulance or two stationed at the Rose Bowl to transport those too far gone to be "treated" at the main first aid area. It seemed more like a MASH unit than a convention at times. Intersperse that with interminably long talks and prayers, and you had the makings of good times!

  Yep Designs...the Rose Bowl was quite the adventure! My Mom, brother and I worked in the fruit stands in the tents (remember those?!)...lots of flies and bees as we cut up endless cantaloupes, oranges, etc....strangely enough, it seemed like fun at the time. Now that I look back, it wasn't much different than children working as pickers in the fields!

  I always found it odd that our area had windowless Halls...and if they had windows they were faux and you couldn't see outside. Always made me wonder if they were designed so JW's wouldn't get distracted by activities outside. I also remember my non-JW relatives commenting on the lack of windows in KH's. Maybe it was just a CA thing...
