No, but I do remember the panic. My parents were convinced that it was going to affect everything, missile systems, the whole nine-yards. They even invested in huge water tanks to put in our basement and stored years worth of food.

Were they crazy? Absolutely. But I can still say I was somewhat affected because of the panic.

Wow. Your parents were not typical at all, but I can see how you would remember that!

I can agree with that.
