63. Well...

Nixon's resignation. (First TV memory.)
Bicentennial celebration in NYC.
The failed rescue of the hostages in Iran.
Reagan being shot.
Challenger explosion.
1989 San Francisco earthquake.
The Berlin Wall coming down.
Tiananmen Square.
Clinton winning in '92.
Waco siege.
Oklahoma City Bombing.
Death of Diana. (In Seattle, looking at the paper on Sunday morning. Not sure why it sticks.)
9/11.
Shoe Bomber. (We were in Paris, and about to leave to go back to the US, so...)
Invasion of Iraq.
2004 Election. (We went to the movies to watch Dawn of the Dead. Perfect.)
Hurricane Katrina. (We were in Prague, and it was sad to see our country fail its own citizens so horrifically.)
Saddam Hussein's Execution. (We were in Paris, and it was interesting to see local shops posting the news in hand-written notes on their doors.)
Obama wins.
Sandy Hook. (One of the most emotional days of my life. My kid was in 1st grade at the time, too, and we had just had a mass killing at a mall in Portland, earlier that week. Later that school year, my kid's school went into lockdown over a mysterious box left on the steps. It turned out to be filled with soap. Still, that day is also a big time memory.)
Boston Marathon.


I know there are more, and this list would be different on a day-by-day basis.
