[Captain Peter Blood]

He was 96 and he was 5 when he was at Ford’s Theater.
If you watched the entire clip he said he wasn’t aware of what happened to Lincoln, he did see Booth jump to the stage where he broke his leg and that was his most vivid memory.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I have vivid memories from the age of 5, a few between 4 and 5, and flashes of a memory or two before 4. My grandmother used to say “You don't remember that, you just heard someone talking about it.” I could never convince her otherwise.

An example of the latter is seeing a bright green, tiled wall while cradled in someones arms. It isn't a vivid, detailed memory, just a flash. I was in the hospital twice as a child. Once for tonsils at 18 months (doubtful) and once for eating a bottle of baby aspirin when I was about 3.

It is easy for me to accept this woman's memory is accurate. But my grandmother would say she only heard someone talking about it.:)
