    My Mom was 14 and she still remembers reading the Sunday comics when the news came over the radio. A day of remembrance for sure.

    The SO pointed out this bit of Historical Irony to me:

    This weekend is SMoFcon, a con for the folks who run SF/F/H/etc. cons. Among the bits of business being transacted: The people who ran the 2012 Worldcon in Chicago arranged to transfer their excess funds to the folks who ran the 2007 Worldcon (which ran a loss)... in Japan.

    It wasn't until the ChiCon folks actually wrote the check that they realized what today was....

    It is an act which people will never forget but it seems to have been largely forgiven.
