Saturday Night Genealogy Fun

It's time for some more Randy Seavear's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun on Sunday afternoon.

This week’s challenge:

1)  Do you recall what you were doing in 1985?  Family, school, work, hobbies, technology, genealogy, vacations, etc?

Can I remember what I was doing in 1985? If it had been 1984, 1986, or most any other year, I would have to say 'NO' or 'Not really' and then perhaps figure it out with a little research of my own.

However, with 1985, I do remember since that was a year of major change in my life.

During the winter of 1985, my husband and I were teachers at Nemaha Valley High School in Seneca, Kansas. My husband taught chemistry and physics while I (with my chemistry degree) taught biology (and algebra during the 84-85 school year).
