  • Born in 1979...I remember Challenger very well. Ollie North. Magic Johnson announcing he has HIV. Of course the fall of the Berlin Wall, and Gulf War I, since I was one of the kids at the Bangor airport trying to get the troops signatures as they came through. Asimov and Roddenbury dying within a year of each other. Dukakis in a tank.

    Obviously not in that order...

      No, I'm not! Joseph is 10 years older. He's the Patriarch.

      I'm a child, just 49... and my age is in my profile
      I may be the second. The vice-Patriarch.

      We should found the "Old Fart Club".
      You misunderstand, I was refering to Joseph. I was agreeing with your statement that he was King. Though at 49, you're definitely in line for Prince. I guess at 46 (almost), I'll have to settle for Count, or some other minor title.

      • Sorry!

        I'll consider this the first session of the "Old Fart Club"...

        Should we invite Ming? Or is he too young?

          I like prince better. Keep it equal between all of you.

          • Earliest HE I remember is maiden flight of Concorde. Odd that I don't remember the fall of Saigon, but I wasn't there at the time.

              Well he's certainly cranky enough to qualify.

                  I remember none of those (gulf war and berlin wall being exception). I wasnt really aware of current events when I was young.

                  I know it thru textbooks and history lessons now of course.
                  :-p
