I thought I remembered being home from work and in front of the TV set in our tiny apartment doing the ironing. But when I think about it - that would have meant that it happened on a Saturday and I'm not sure about that. It seems most people remember being somewhere at work then. Maybe I remember really the funeral happening on a Saturday and I was home ironing then. I suppose I could research all this, but it isn't going to help with the memory. Since our parents had/have alzheimer, I join you in being disturbed at things like that.Mariodacatsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040681324029176934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525976427330328394.post-2182175458478272742013-11-24T17:40:04.930-05:002013-11-24T17:40:04.930-05:00I was too young to be aware of it Mark and, of cou...I was too young to be aware of it Mark and, of course, in Australia the treatment of the event would have been quite different. One of the world events that I can recall - well, I THINK I can recall - is watching the first moon landing. I was at school and everyone was crowded into the assembly hall to watch the one and only TV, in glorious black and white.<br />I share your views about personal memories - how fluid and unreliable they are, and how unsettling it can be to have one clearly demonstrated to be wrong!<br /><br />Megan<br />Sydney, AustraliaMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143400920174171516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525976427330328394.post-41754451316272372242013-11-24T13:20:47.115-05:002013-11-24T13:20:47.115-05:00Did your grandparents come to visit for Thanksgivi...Did your grandparents come to visit for Thanksgiving which was the following week? Or could your family have a planned trip to visit them for Thanksgiving week? <br /><br />Time wise, most things were stated in central time, and I remember the times pretty good. Just after we had come back to class after lunch break.

Lawyers know that eye witness testimony is very suspect. Especially over a traumatic event. As this was for you. If you think it odd then take a quick psychological test where you compare two pictures comparing what you remembering seeing different between the two. Or trying to describe exactly what you saw. Invariably details are missed, even BIG ones. Memories also get caught up by the things we are repeatedly told, like family history. You see it so often when someone does family research and discovers oral family history is all wrong. I was too young to remember any of this, but my Brother who is 7 years older than I does have memories.ANGEL ABBYGRACEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777233381092226583noreply@blogger.com
