Aunt Fritzi: What are you studying?
Nancy: History...The fall of something called "the soviet union"....
Aunt Fritzi: Nothing makes me feel more like an ANTIQUE than find-ing out I lived through what is NOW her "HISTORY"!
I remember being in high school during the whole Watergate mess and thinking to myself, Oh boy am I ever glad I’ll never have to study this in history class!! It was full of so many twists & turns…..a real quagmire!
Antique? Shoot – I REVEL in it! I teach my Rocketry classes about the history of the race to the moon, which I lived through as a kid! All the little things they don’t teach in the history books.
When we went to see “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”, I caught myself saying, “They’ve really got the period movement right,” and then realized to my horror that I was calling my own life “period”.

And, believe it or not, Paul McCartney was in a band once; I think it was called Wings.

But grand history it was. Though a new evil always seems to come along.

Fritzi, I had that feeling b50 years ago when teenagers in my class were debating which came first — World War 2 or Korea. I lived through both.
