Oklahoma City Bombing. I was maybe 5-6 years old. I also vaguely remember the OJ Simpson trial.

Oliver North trials.

I had no idea of the issues at hand I just remember this Marine with all the shiny ribbons and ranks sitting there.


Weird that that’s what sticks out.

The Space Race in the 60’s and the Vietnam Nam War escalation. My PawPaw would read the newspaper to me at about 5 every morning.

The Russians were beating us in the race then JFK pulled all of the stops and we went to the moon.

They lived across the road from us And I would be there before daylight. I have always been an early riser because of that. Since I was about 4 or 5 years old.

The one that stands out from all others was the Kennedy assassination.
