If the answer is yes to that, what and where were you doing 38 years ago tonight?

Nope, I didn't see it. I was about a year and a half old at the time but the story I've been told is they brought a TV into my hospital room at the Univ. of Iowa Hospitals and my folks watched it with a couple of nurses. If you're asking about what I think you're asking about....... one small step????

Yes IM. My son was only about a year older than you and was sitting on my lap watching also (or being pointed at the tube) but remembers about the same as you. LOL

It WAS an "I remember..." moment for a lot of people on this planet.

I was itty bitty but I have a scrapbook that an old lady from my Gramma's church made for me and it has all the clippings.

That is the difference in this event being spectacular news and history. I think you will someday tell someone about 9/11 that will look at you like it was just something else in the book along with Bunker Hill, Waterloo and the Titanic.

I thought I remembered seeing this in school (they wheeled the TV into the classroom) but with everyone's answer of being at home in front of the TV I think I'm mistaken.

Hmmmmmm...why would I have that false memory?

What day and time of day did it actually air? I gotta figure out where I was!

I take pride in remembering my childhood...way back to an incident when I was 1y/o. I related something to my mom once and she was surprised to realize I was remembering something when I was only a year old.

This throws a wrench into the mix for me!
