Re: How old are you ?
I'm a whoppin' 27! (But I've also got a wife and three kids, so my students think I'm really old!)
Although I wasn't around when Kennedy was shot, it was strange when the anniversary of 9/11 came around and we discussed it a bit in class, some of my students were little babies when that happened! It made me feel way older than them since that happened when I was in high school.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Re: How old are you ?
I was in second grade in the Navy Air Station school in Bermuda when Kennedy was shot. We didn't have a TV so watched some of what was happening at the PX, or at least that's the way I remember it. I too will be 57 this year.

Re: How old are you ?
Folks around my age think of the September 11 attacks in the same manner as the previous generation thinks of the Kennedy assassination, it seems to me. I was in 4th grade when that happened.

Re: How old are you ?
I believe you're right about that. In my opinion, 9-11 was a much greater tragedy. I am not downplaying the horror of Kennedy's assasination. He was just one man. Sept. 11 had such loss of life. Watching people jump to their deaths was unbelievably horrible.PWtuba wrote:Folks around my age think of the September 11 attacks in the same manner as the previous generation thinks of the Kennedy assassination, it seems to me.

Re: How old are you ?
I'll be 30 in April. September 11 happened during my first week of college. It was a very surreal experience, having grown up in the shadow of Manhattan, I had seen those towers every day of my life, and was away at school for the first time when they came down. Couldn't really process what had happened until I went home that weekend and could see for myself that they were gone.
