13/13 I remember because I lived theough these events. Back then, these were BIG events. Gordon Lightfoot sang a very haunting song called "The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald," in 1976.

4/13 I was born in 1974 I really don't remember what happened in 1975. Just wanted to test myself and I did as well as I expected. Fun quiz though.

My first F How embrassing. I guess the things I remember are very different. Or maybe I was too sleepy to pay attention.
