Who remembers their mom or dad telling them, as children, where the parents were when "WAR OF THE WORLDS" was being broadcast on radio?
My mom always said she was ironing and that afterwards, when discussing it with other neighbors, who by the way, all lived near Ferry Street in Newark, New Jersey.......they ALL BELIEVED IT.

I guess radio was a bit prehistoric in those days......I wasn't born yet.
I was born right after F.D.R. passed away, at the end of WWII 1945.
