I was born in 1955.

I remember street cars in Washington D.C.

A broken down Studebaker(sp?) my father kept in the yard. (Why? I don't know.)

I remember what I was doing when Kennedy was assassinated and the reactions of the teachers (I was in school when it happened.)

I remember having to get under the desk when the "air raid" siren went off.

I remember the Beatles. ( My father said they were demonic and my brothers and I
weren't allowed to listen to that type of music.)

I remember the blacks rioting in Washington D.C. We drove downtown after the riots
just to see the National Guard (carrying what looked like M-16s) on the street corners stopping supicious looking people.

I remember the moon landings and the first calculators.

Where did you grow up?

Do you remember May Day and all the hippies in tents all over downtown near the monuments?
