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...

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?

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.
