re: The Day After - 1983

I was 11 in the 6th grade. I had to help milk the cows in my father's dairy barn. I then remember getting home to watch the Falcons upset the 49ers. I then took a shower and sat down and watched The Day After. I remember bad 1980's special effects when the bombs went off. I remember my dad telling me and my brother about the Cuban Missile Crisis which occurred during his junior year of high school. I also remember discussing it at school the next day. It made you think about Nuclear War, but I wasn't scared or anything.
