Put your birth date in the window when you click on this link and see what

happens. Pretty neat, and pretty strange since none of it seems that long

ago.

You're right, Stud, REALLY neat!

Great to see that post putting things (dates) in perspective. As a History Instructor for many years, I have lived through most events since 1944. I still have my WW II War Ration cards while I was a baby!!!

I entered Boot Camp at the Naval Training Command at Great Lakes when Pres. Kennedy announced the placement of Soviet

missiles in Cuba and initiated a "Quarantine" of Cuba, which is known as the Cuban Missile Crisis to everybody else.

P.S:

I also remember "Duck and Cover" drills in junior and senior high .

If none of those reading this post can't relate to what I mean, It was the "snow job" of the Government that we could protect ourselves against Soviet nuclear attacks by ducking under our desks at our local schools!

...as opposed to today's snow job, better known as "Duct and Cover."
