a) 9/22/63 was a little less than 20 years before I was born, had I been alive, I would have been devistated. JFK was a very interesting man.
b) July 20, 1969, still not born yet. I must say, this is still one of my proudest acheivments as an American. It's facinating that we were able to do the unthinkable and have a human being on a body in space.
c) 12/8/1980, well getting closer, but still not born yet. Lennon is one of my favorite figures in the modern anti-war movement. Truely, he was a great man.
d) I watched over and over the Berlin Wall falling with my grandfather. He told me stories about what the implications of the wall were and the fact that it was finalyl being torn down had atrue and echoing meaning accross time.
e) I was getting ready for school when I saw the second strike inturrupt whatever I was watching on TV. I watched for about an hour, and then went to school. Everyone was talking about it, and people were crying and such. I volunteered to speak over the intercom system to the school (the student elected president was home 'sick', probably afraid of his duties). I opnly spoke for about 15 minutes, but I think I got my point across: "today is about healing".
f) I was on vacation with my vamily in Monterey, I think.
g) I was in school, but I had to have the situation explained to me a few times. I still don't really get it.
h) Home. Too young to remember, though I've read about it.
i) Home.
