Went to my second job later, (night crew came in early), and worked the small cord board at the local Framingham Motor Inn..had to use crank on side of board for power..had to get gas of course, stopped by Dad's station..he had a generator for power..phew...what do you expect from someone just out of HS..

The Great Northeast Blackout At dusk on November 9, 1965, one of the biggest power failures in history occurs as all of New York state, portions of seven nearby states, and parts of eastern Canada are plunged into darkness.
