I know I'm an as*hole for asking, but are you old enough to remember it? 
-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer |
I was not quite one year old at the time. So it did happen in my lifetime. If I had been at Lakehurst I am not sure if I would have remembered it or not. I do have some memories of things that happened before I was two years old.
I remember how upset everybody in the house was when the Japanese navy attacked Pearl Harbor. And I can remember bits and snatches of the 1939 World's Fair. I remember the Trylon and Perisphere structure all lit up a night.

Is your memory of that in black and white? That's how I imagine everything from the 50s and prior, thanks to television.
