Not ambitious anymore. My ambition died after about ten years in the work force. I worked for myself for awhile, though. I remember inflation, price freezes, Vietnam, the lottery, dating older vets after the war. I remember JFK assassination, RFK assassination, landing on the moon, Watergate, Chicago riots, lynchings, George Wallace, etc. We watched alot of news and I liked newspapers and magazines, so I was pretty aware of current events.
