63 years old when Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace was shot
60 years old at the time the first man stepped on the moon
59 years old when Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated
56 years old during the Watts riot
55 years old at the time President Kennedy was assassinated
50 years old when Hawaii was admitted as 50th of the United States
49 years old when the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 was launched
44 years old at the end of the Korean War
36 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima
33 years old at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
26 years old in the year radar was invented
21 years old when the American stock market crashed
18 years old in the year of the first talking motion picture
6 years old at the time of the sinking of the Lusitania
5 years old when the First World War began

wow that is cool Kim! It is kind of eerie, I was so young when JFK was assasinated, but i remember it so clearly. We were all at recess and the freeze bell rang, then the principal came over the loudspeaker and told all of us to get home immediately and busses were lining up to provide transportation for everyone, even those near the school (within walking distance) By the time I got home my mom and dad were home from work too and we sat around the television and I saw them cry for the first time in my life.

WOW--look at this for my grandfather:

17 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima
