Cuban Missile Crisis. Scared the hell out of me at 9 years old. My brother and I went out and dug a fallout shelter in the back yard. Thank God it didn’t collapse on us.
I could tell my parents were nervous too. I remember asking my dad why did we let the Russians be so close to us like that? It’s still a damn good question. If Russia can take the Ukraine we should take Cuba like tomorrow.

Seems most people were 8-10 years old. That seems about right for me. I was 9 when the Cuban Missile Crisis hit. I do also remember the space race which maybe slightly preceded the crisis. It was us Vs. the Russians.
I knew we didn’t like or trust Russia. Guess things haven’t changed much. Thank God for Reagan. Wish we could find another one just like him.

Gulf War vaguely
Hurricane Opal (though living through it more than the news)
OJ was the first news story I remember really following

I vaguely remember the Iran hostage situation from when I was real little. I wasn't aware of what exactly it was, but I do remember people talking about "the hostages."

And you're posting on here with us idiots? Nice!
My opinion: To make it to my age and still enjoy every day, you need to stay both physically and mentally active. Posting and reading here is a part of my mental bit, along with duplicate bridge, and kibitzing and partying with friends and neighbors.
Having been a gym rat all my life, along with golf here at The Villages, the physical is even easier.
Thanks for your comments; regards, OmniPundit.

One of the most unfavorite events of my entire life, I was a lieutenant in an artillery battery on a mountain top in Korea, 12 km from the DMZ.
