Yes but let me back up some.

When I was in high school, mid 70’s, I had no interest in history.

Here’s what was required for high school: A semester of world history, a semester of American history, a semester of economics, a semester of AZ history, a semester of American Govt. and a semester of something else...can’t remember.

Looking back, it certainly was not enough.

I'm not much older than you. There wasn't much history taught in high school when I was there, either. Furthermore, I had to be threatened with torture and certain death just to get me into a history class.

Now I enjoy history a great deal and have been reading full-spectrum. I really like WWII history a lot. I also enjoy digging up as much as I can regarding the development process that led to the Apollo landings. The Romans also tickle my fancy as do those crusty old Vikings.
