Rowsdower70 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I remember it well, it was all over the news of course. I actually had a small vial of volcanic dust from that eruption that I kept for years. Not sure what happened to it.

CrossBow Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I honestly don't remember this as I would have only been about 6 years old at the time. In fact, when I think back on things, I really can't remember much of anything that far back other than a few memories of when I was about 7 years old and go my first Atari in about Christmas of '81 or '82, and then most of my memories seem to be in check starting around 1984 when I was about 9 - 10 years old.

Starbuck66 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I... was not alive yet. About 4 months before I was around... I heard lots of stories though, plus remember discussing in science classes a lot. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I very much remember this. Had family relatives living in Washington state. We got ashes where I lived in Arkansas. Air was hard to breathe from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
