To have lived through it, with any recollection of what it was like, you would have had to be at least 10 yrs old in 1029, so 20 yrs old in 1939.

As it is now 2009, you would have to be at least 90 yrs old.

I guess there MAY be one or two 90 yr olds here at GFY, but it is unlikely.

Let's see what happens...
