Ones I remember – seeing Nixon resign (I know I’m dating myself). I was about 6.
Seeing the Vietnamese hanging onto the planes as they took off from Vietnam (1972 or 3?)
when Elvis died. I was about 10.
when John Lennon got shot. I was like 13. I was not a big Beatles fan (before my time) but I remember how upset people were on the news.
When the Challenger exploded. I was at work as a temp when I heard.
When Chuck and Di got married. I was 13, visiting an aunt in Florida.
When Di got killed. I was coming home from vacation in Cape Cod. It was so shocking I arrived home around 4 a.m. and just watched it on TV all weekend.
This royal wedding that just passed. They only come along every couple of decades or so.
