My department chairman was a German teacher, and his daughter was away attending another college. Apparently she was watching TV during the day and phoned him to say that the Berlin Wall was coming down.
I actually remember when it went up. One of my mother's cousins was stationed in Berlin as an army chaplain at the time, and he took home movies of the Russians reinforcing the barrier that they put up overnight in August 1961; he showed us the movies when he came to Minneapolis to visit.
