This is taking longer than I'd expected; the edit went into more writing. So I'm posting the "Where Were You When...." questions ...without having to wade through my autobiographical maunderings...really, this is getting awfully out of control but I guess I needed to write after seeing my father again. Go figure. It may be this evening before this thing gets posted; I have GOT to go sew!

What I think is really interesting about this list is that there were some I was there for, but I don't remember... I mean, I remember them happening, but not where I was or what I was doing. Probably blocked it.

Ype, I find it intersting the ones that I really remember exactly where I was when it happened...and those that I don't.

I take it the actual answers are still under editoral review? :)
