Pearl harbor, i woke up to a frantic home. I remember my family trying to hide in the cellar... We thought the attack was going to continue to us. We were all glued to the radio.
JFK - I was at work at a printing press. (the hustler printing company in Denver) a coworker came in an told me and my husband. I called the rest of my family and told them to turn on their radios. We couldn't afford a tv.
Moon- I will Never ever forget that feeling. We were silent around the tv as the man stepped out of the plane onto the moon. I remember feeling so hopeful for us a race. I remember how dead quiet the whole family was.

Oh this is great. Thank you, kid! :) I thought about this just yesterday. I used to work with his best friend. He told my husband to come over for dinner one night to meet me. He said we were going to play bridge. I told him I knew how to play, even though I didn't. I went home and asked everyone I knew to teach me how to play bridge so I could make a good first impression. My friend taught me in a few hours and I went to dinner. After dinner and bridge, my husband Julian asked if I needed a ride home. He had a brand new Pontiac coupe. He took me home, asked me for another date, and asked to kiss me. I said no, but agreed to go out with him again. On the next date he kissed me right away, and said with a smile, "see what you have been missing." I saw him once a week from then, and married two and half years later.

I'll always have faith in kids. They know so much more than I did. Kids are as smart as they ever were. One of my favorite lines from a song is, They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
