Hostage Breakthrough, Reagan For 1980-81 was a rather monumental year, besides, of course the face that it was the 100th year of H.H.S. The big headline topper was the release of our 52 hostages by Iran after about 444 days in captivity. When they returned, they were received by many celebrations and millions of yellow ribbons which were donned to express our relief. Another issue which was gladly concluded was the question of “Who shot J.R.?” We diligently stayed glued to our television to find out that “the mistress did it.” A much more realistic murder attempt that did succeed also shocked America. The death of Beatles musician John Lennon threw some of us into real grief. Lennon, who was murdered near his apartment in New York, meant much to the people, especially those from the 60’s generation. Election time was different from other years in the respect that we had three main contenders instead of the usual two. Independent candidate John Anderson had us wondering for awhile but in the end Ronald Reagan prevailed by a large margin. Closer to home, Hudson also had a few events. The new obscenity ordinance raised a few eyebrows but was passed with little or no resistance. Also new was the hockey dome which cost us approximately 75,000 dollars. All in all it was an extremely eventful year that in no way could be compared to the years of 1880-81.
