Uh oh, I graduated from high school in 1964! I remember some of the things that happened, especially the Beatles.
I was 7 in 1964 and my clearest memory is listening to "I wanna hold your hand"...! :)
I was conceived Christmas Eve 1964. I should not know that... but I do. ;-)
1964?! I am surrounded by children.
Okay, you've only got me by a year. But still.
Geez- how did I miss this?? Happy Birthday!! Did I know you were a thirteener too??
:-) I hope your day was wonderful!
