re: Why does 1975-1995 seem like a large span of time?

WW 2 is closer to the Civil War than it is to the present.

Haven't thought about that before...My Mother passed in 2022 just shy of 91 yrs old. It hit hit one day about 7 months before she died, that she turned 10 yrs old a week after Pearl Harbor. I mentioned that to her, and she vividly recalled sitting around the radio listening to FDR declare war on the "Empire of Japan". She was the youngest of 7. Three of her brothers went to war. She looked at me and said she was so happy she lived during the times she did. She recalled how she loved the 50s and living in New Orleans during that time and how women dressed in high heels, dresses, and wore gloves walking down Canal Street. She then said to me "It passes sooo fast. Enjoy the times. Don't sweat small stuff. It'll be gone before you know it..in the blink of an eye. Make peace with the Lord and hang on to Jesus." Never forgot that. That generation is pretty much gone now.
