I love this kind of post. I was at school when JFK was assasinated. I remember the TV programs being cancelled and seeing lots of people praying inside a church instead.
22January 1973 was the day before I started work. Who were Roe v Wade?
I watched Neil Armstrong but i'm not sure if it was direct. I was terrified they wouldn't be able to take off again.
I remember the build up to Challenger more than the explosion. Here in France they were very taken with the teacher going up part.
I didn't remember the date of the Berlin wall coming down, but we watched as it happened. I made Christian and Dom watch even though they were babies so they could tell their grandchildren about it.
When the French and English sides of the Channel tunnel met up, it was just in time for the lunch time news, but I couldn't tell you the date.
July 7th 1981; the weather was really hot. It was a Tuesday and the bank was very busy that day and I worked through my lunchtime.
I was in a pub in the North East of England when I found out about Elvis. I lot of beer was downed that day, I can tell you.
Another I remember, though I don't know the date, was Lucille Ball dying.
This is the best Bill! I totally understand and love this entry.
I was a baby (well, 3 years old) when Kennedy was assassinated; but, I can tell ya', I remember all the conversations about that sad day; and, of course, I learned all the facts in school.
I was barely 13 when the Roe v. Wade decision was made. I don't remember exactly what I may have been doing that day, however, I remember the whole thing in the news. I am sooo very thankful for that verdict.
Again, don't remember what I was doing when Neil stepped on the moon's surface, but I was most likely involved in whatever other 9 year olds were doing on that day, as my grandparents watched the whole thing on their black and white screen.
I Do remember Challenger vividly. I was working as a Speech/Language Pathologist in the school system. I was in our central office at the board of Education that day and saw the whole thing, trying to figure how I would speak with my students as they talked to me about it.
The Berlin Wall--I lived in Charleston, WV. I remember watching it all on the news, but don't know exactly what I was doing that day.
Ah, dear Elvis! I was driving someplace, heard it all over the radio. Still looking for him to show up because so many say he will, ya' know. :) I'll bet you didn't really mean for folks to tell you. perhaps I should have made this a post on my site. Hugs...
Was the March 1 of 82 the date Reagan was shot? That's the only thing I can think might have happened at that time. You don't explain what happened at the time and I'm not in the mood to google it. I remember the heat of summer when Elvis died, er, disappeared. I actually remember that summer day with much more clarity than I remember the Berlin Wall news, but I remember thinking as I fed my daughter her 18-month dinner what an auspicious event it was and that I should be paying more attention.
