I think I'd like to research and start taking notes for a comic about the year 1981. I was 17 and I remember my junior year at Evergreen High School in
Evergreen, Colorado as being one of the most memorable years of my young adulthood.

That can't be right. Slim's yodeling is deadly to aliens - especially Martians.

I remember in grad school watching the first shuttle landing on a 18 inch black and white TV in one of the professors's office and cheering upon its success.
Second, I remember awaiting the announce of the IBM PC and watching the little tramp commercials.
there's two 1981 memories for ya.

I was out working in a remote location! Came home to see, on my 6"telly to see Dan Rather pronounce him dead! As he hoped...I guess.

I was in band "class," which for two-thirds of the year was an administrative excuse to give the marching band course credit for an extra hour of practice. I played two sports, therefore didn't march. I didn't hear about it until I got home from practice.
Where were you, John?

Driving through the Chickamauga Battlefield Park with a car full of friends on college break. It was my first time in the state of Georgia. We turned the radio off while we were in the park and when I turned the radio back on, we started hearing this confusing talk about Reagan and an assassination attempt and it took a few minutes to put it all together. We continued our drive to Hendersonville, Tennessee where we were spending the night.

The day Reagan was shot - March 30th - was also my grandfather's birthday. That's why I remember it so well.

HEY T
I remember coming home from school and seeing the gruesome replays OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. Very surreal.
