Well Patrick, what my parents would tell me when we were talking about things before my time....."you were just a gleam in your father's eye."
I remember a few years back (before 911), on another JFK Assassination anniversary, asking my daughters if anything similar stands out in their minds, that they thought they'd remember.....they said the Challenger disaster. They were in school and watched coverage on tv. I would guess today for everyone old enough, it'd have to be 911.
