[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born in mid 1964.  I do not feel apart of either generation. JFK was shot before I was born. I don't remember Viet Nam. I have a vague memory of the moon shot, ("watch THIS, you will remember it the rest of your life!!!!!" is what I remember).  I was just becoming aware when Nixon was nearly impeached - mid-ES.  Carter's election is the first one I remember. I remember John Anderson.

I remember when John Lennon was shot mainly because it was the first banner headline I had ever seen in the newspaper and that shocked me.  I really wasn't aware of the Beatles until that point. Same for Elvis's death.

I remember when Reagan was shot, I know who shot JR, I remember the Iranian hostages coming home - these were when I was in HS.

I remember Challenger in college, same for Thriller - I was never really a Michael Jackson fan.  Madonna was huge.  Purple Rain came out in college.  U2 was on my radar then. Live Aid.....

I remember Lockerbie- two students from my HS were on the plane.  I remember Tiananmen square- a mom from church was in a hotel just off the square.  I remember the hijacked plane that went to Beirut- a neighbor was on that plane.  (I don't remember the chronology of those events).

I remember when the wall came down and Perestroika- I was living in DC and working.  I did not know of Kurt Cobain until after his death. [/quote]  h, my parents were born in 1929 and 1931. They were depression babies and came of age during WWI- so they were whatever was before the "Greatest Generation".  [/quote]
