In 1992, 18 years ago

Posted by tom | Sep 3, 2010

In fall 1992, Theresa and I entered Grove City College, after graduating Donegal High School in the spring.  Can you remember back eighteen years ago, the year most first year students were born?  I took a look at wikipedia to remind myself of ...

  • Super Bowl XXVI: The Washington Redskins defeat the Buffalo Bills 37–24.
  • Federal Republic of Yugoslavia founded
  • Jay Leno becomes the new host of NBC's Tonight Show, following the retirement of Johnny Carson.  Comment:  Carson was so much better than Leno.  Do I belong to a previous generation?
  • Václav Havel resigns as president of Czechoslovakia. Question:  Have you read Jim Sire's book on Havel?
  • Lots of shifts in alignment in the former USSR.
  • Brett Favre makes his first start for the Green Bay Packers.  Question:  Is he still playing this fall?
  • Pittsburgh International Airport's new facility opens in Findlay Township, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. ... Tom and Theresa "enjoyed" this facility a few too many times ;-)
  • Prince Charles and Princess Diana publicly announce their separation. Note:  watching their 1981 marriage on TV remains one of my sharpest childhood memories.

What would you add to the list?
