re: What's the closest you or a family member has been to a part of history?

I was in the dome for the Saints NFC championship victory over the Vikings.

I rode the gondola across the MS river the day it opened, which was the week before the worlds fair opened.

My maternal grandfather is first cousins with Edwin Edwards. I didn’t know that until last year and I’m in my 50s. He was also 2nd cousin to Justin Trudeau. As Clark Griswold once said, “That’s nothing to be proud of Rusty”
