It will always amaze me that in 1869 they could make a railroad track meet from 690 mile away, while today that have a problem making a twenty mile bridge meet in the middle
ReplyDelete1994, I think, there was a rise in my awareness of Mr. Mandela around then.
Pope John Paul 2 never got my attention, so a guess is 1968
The Smallpox cure, at least the one that really worked, was too late for the American Indian Societies, and was close to the 18th century, Maybe 1795?
2 on the nose! 1 within a year. And 1 a little bit off, altho you did say it was a guess and it's within 15 years. Your memory is amazing!
