I am reflecting on major events in my life time that I remember in no particular order.
What events do you remember?
Hurricane Carla while living in Houston 1961
Assasinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy. (I was front and center when President Kennedy's motorcade passed by from Houston Airport going to downtown for a speech.)
Landing on the moon on our black and white tv (moved to Tulsa by then)
Watergate fiasco
My first Elvis concert July 4, 1976, Tulsa
Death of Elvis on August 16, 1977
Wedding of Price Charles and Princess Diana and the births of Prince William and Prince Harry
Explosion of Challenger
Bombing of the Murrah building in OKC
Tragic death of Princess Diana
Terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon
Death of my parents and husband (2002, 2004, 2009)
Attack of Afghanistan and deaths of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein
Devastion of Hurricane Katrina
Death of Queen Elizabeth II
There are so many more things but these events jumped out in front while making my list.

I am a few years younger than you, just a few. I remember almost everything you have listed. For some reason what comes to mind is watching the Ed Sullivan show with my parents, eagerly hoping that Topo Gigio would make an appearance.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy Birthday @OKPrincess .
I too remember most of what you mentioned except JFK's assasination, I was only 3......
I hope you can have a "happier" day than the list you made, but I certainly can understand your reminiscence of all those events. Best wishes.
