General Discussion

while I am among the older of Gen X. We probably have more in common with each other than with people at the extremes of our generations. A person born in 1946 would have memories of Ike, Kennedy, the moon landing and would have been draftable for Vietnam. My brother, born in 1964 wouldn't have memories of Johnson let alone Ike and wasn't an adult until 1982. Meanwhile I was born in 1967 meaning I have some memories of Ford, many of Carter, and was an adult for over half of Reagan's second term. I vividly recall the Challenger explosion and voted for Dukakis and all subsequent Democratic candidates. Someone born in 1980, couldn't vote until Gore, was in elementary school while Reagan was in his second term and was in kindergarten or 1st grade when the challenger exploded. They never didn't have VCRs or computers and never saw Star Wars as a first run movie in a theater. I very much recall Star Wars and how hot I thought Mark Hamill was.
