[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 1266810, member: 9169"] Interesting thread! Some historical events I can remember very well, others not so much. I was alive when Kennedy was assassinated but too little to understand what was going on. But when Reagan got shot, that made an impact. Especially later when it came out how seriously injured he was. Watching the moon landings on tv. It seemed like we would be living the Jetsons life soon after. I'm still waiting for my flying car! I wish I had paid more attention to the Watergate proceedings. It was just too long, drawn out and boring at that age. I remember very well when the space shuttle Challenger exploded. Those flights had gotten to seem routine so when the radio broke in with the "special report" it was quite shocking and sad. Bringing down the Berlin wall. I had a piece of it, supposedly, but have lost track of it. A co-worker who was in the reserves gave it to me. Bombing at the Oklahoma federal building, and then finding out it was a homegrown crazy who did it. Horrifying. 9/11 - was already watching the coverage on tv when the 2nd plane came in. Up until that point it had seemed like a terrible accident. Then seeing the towers collapse, one after the other. Just a sick hollow feeling I will never forget. Personally, one of the biggest events in life was becoming a grandma. Of course I was happy and proud to be a mom, too, but something about grandkids is just extra special. You get all the joy without all the responsibility and work. Two friends that were really close have passed away already and I still miss them, think about them and mourn for all those years of life they have missed out on. [/QUOTE]
