Posts from Gorch in thread „When Were You Born?“

    If you want to shoehorn me into the list, I arrived on the scene in 1949. Harry Truman was president and one of my earliest recollections about movies was seeing "Hondo" when it first came out.

    September, 1949. My Mom used to kid that I was born on Labor Day.
    I also just retired last week after almost 40 years as an investigator for New York State. Hope to spend more time getting to know you fine people better.

    Add another baby boomer. I was born in 1949 and remember going to see The Searchers at the drive in while wearing my pjs.
    My Dad, a veteran and survivor of DDay and the Bulge, was a Duke fan and it was a big deal for the family to dress up for dinner and go see a Wayne film. After coming home from Alamo, my brother and I were excitedly reviewing the gory deaths of the defenders. Dad stopped us cold by quietly saying that it's no fun seeing your friends die. That was the only time he ever alluded to WWII to either of us.
