The events above impacted the lives of people presently 70 years old. 

For some of Polio was among our first memories when we were very young.  Our wars have been sad events, with Vietnam our a major 

challenge when we turned 18.  HIV AIDS has been with us for 40 

years. 911 was an enormous shock. And Covid-19 has made a very 

major impact in only seven months.
