The Fall of the Berlin Wall

[SydneyK]

I was in high school when the wall came down. I remember my history teacher was so excited about having the opportunity to teach living history. He completely ditched the book we had been using, and our history class became a current events class. (Hijack: When the movie Dead Poet's Society came out, all his students agreed that he was the teacher Robin William's character was based on. I wonder how he's doing these days. /end hijack)

I was in sixth grade and I remember thinking how cool it would be to get a piece of that spray-painted wall. I seem to recall watching Peter Jennings broadcasting from on top of the wall, too.
