 HAHA! You were old enough to watch the Berlin Wall fall!? I was, but I am an old geezer!

Yeah of course I've got it on tape. That was on of my favourite moments in my life because of family history I was 2 years old but I remember seeing Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings standing on the wall everybody singing having a good time. Pieces of the oppressive thing is in my backyard, ironically we use it as a barrier to stop kids from driving on to my yard, lol.

clarify I was 3 and 4 months lol.

haha! I was about 11 or 12 I guess?!  I also remember the space shuttle blowing up in 86. But I was a comic book nerd then, Groo and X-men!

Hmmmm...yes, I remember that...I was installing an x-ray spectrometer (the first in their department!) at the University of WA and my customer came in with a look of horror on his face. He said it was a "black day in the history of space travel". He explained the shuttle had "blown up" right after liftoff....we went and watched the replays for the next couple of hours. I'll never forget that.

The ironic thing was that his study included some advanced materials science stuff that was going to be used in later shuttle experiments, including the HR tiles and micrometeorite investigation. His program was all but sunk.

that is wild tehborken!

crazy, the places we remember we were during certain events of our lives.

  I remember the moment I found out Kurt Cobain died. I was at a friends house, TV was on, but sound was off, we had the stereo on playing Smashing Pumpkins to be exact, as we played air hockey. Then the caption on the screen came on as breaking news from King 5 news or something. (Seattle TV channel, seen in Vancouver). Kurt Cobain found dead at Lake Washington home.

Errr, who??


(Just kidding, I know who he is. Ummm, I mean, "was".)

 

[CK]

haha! Yes, he was just a rock star, but I found him rather interesting.

  I remember he said he wore a red dress once into a pub in a sawmill town,(by Aberdeen or somewhere over there), just to piss off the redneck locals! WOOT!!
