45 and yes to both. The experience in person was gutting even to a know it all too cool for school 13 year old. RIP cousin Barney.

I am in my late 50's and yes to both. Cool thread, I had to think hard.

I'm 47 and I know who she is and what she did.
I am a history nerd though, and come from a military family so I better know.

I forgot she went to Yale though.
