Thanks for the link. Certainly aptly describes a segment I've always thought of as younger Boomers. But happy for new evidence I don't make the cut :)<BR/><BR/>@Catnip Intoxicating Yes, I'm sure 911 is your gen's JFK. Only more so. My daughter was going to her second day of high school in lower Manhattan that morning. She came up from the subway and saw people jumping. She was listening to music on her headphones and the music became a sort of horrible soundtrack. 911 was something she never wanted to talk about (with me, at least) until years later. We were driving and she reached out to skip to the next track on a CD. "I don't want to hear that," she said. "It's what I was listening to that day on the subway."Ad Broad, oldest working writer in advertisinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505122645106322698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828158097601815711.post-61971561890870446692008-11-22T16:12:00.000-05:002008-11-22T16:12:00.000-05:00I was not around in those days.

Everyone seems to remember it like it were yesterday.<BR/><BR/>I think 911 is my generation's JFK. I saw it happen (from a television in NJ).<BR/><BR/>I met people who were there and the the stories they cold me, put chills down my spin.Jeanine Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706100398338837935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828158097601815711.post-57859049943338724352008-11-22T13:20:00.000-05:002008-11-22T13:20:00.000-05:00The Kennedy assassination was one of my earliest m...The Kennedy assassination was one of my earliest memories, though it it extremely vague. I was 3 and living in Wakefield, Mass., and I remember all the housewives of our neighborhood in our kitchen/dining rooms with my mother, sobbing about the president's death.<BR/><BR/>Technically, I think my generation is post-Boomer, pre-Xer -- what is sometimes referred to as <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones" REL="nofollow">Generation Jones</A> (Obama's generation). If you were in third grade 45 years ago, you might technically be in that category, too.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359624900128501794noreply@blogger.com
