Think of all the babies in this country that were spared what so many in Eirope went through. > [@notfrommensa](#): > > and anyone who was born in 1960-1961, like me. My mom says she remembers it. From her: I actually remember this since by the time all the stories from Europe were hitting the USA I was pregnant with Doug!
