datzenmike Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 I remember Kennedy and Eisenhower riding a gun carriage pulled by horses through Washington. Kennedy also had a riderless horse in attendance. I remember the horse was very difficult to handle and refused to cooperate. 2 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 I remember where I was when Kennedy was shot, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Sputnik, the Andria Doria sinking and the Suez Crisis. Before that I remember being in Hurricane Hazel when the lights went out. 1 Quote Link to comment

Before that I remember being in Hurricane Hazel when the lights went out. Me too, we’ll, except for the hurricane. I did have an great aunt Hazel, in Arnold, Nebraska. She had a wringer washing machine for the laundry, and a two hole outhouse in the garden. The only indoor plumbing was a hand pump in the kitchen. If you wanted hot water you had to build a fire in the stove, draw water from the pump into a kettle, and heat it up. I was in kindergarten the day Kennedy was shot. Someone came into the classroom and whispered something to the teacher, then they sent everyone home for the day. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Had to look it up... October 1954. Hazel was expected to dissipate but suddenly strengthened as it entered up into lower Ontario. (VERY rare) I remember we all moved down stairs with blankets into the living room of our large brick house on a dairy farm. You could hear the wind outside. Power was long out and we had only candles. The next morning was sunny with clouds and very windy. There was a large maple tree blown down on our lawn and power was out for several days. We cooked outside. 1 Quote Link to comment

I remember being just a kid and being very afraid we were gonna get nuked by Russia via Cuba. Another one was the Chappaquidick incident. That was the biggest bullshit story ever by a politician, and he somehow got away with it. Edited June 30, 2022 by Duncan Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 ... steam locomotives were still in use. Brother and I would walk down to the wooden bridge to the lower acreage. We'd wave at the engineer and he's blow the whistle. Or jack the throttle on full for a few seconds just as he passed underneath and the steam and smoke would blow up through the cracks between the timbers. Then we'd climb down and hunt for the pennies we had put on the track. 2 Quote Link to comment
