What do you mean? Why is it weird? Did you mean to imply that you're surprised that he was old or that Pearl Harbor happened around an average lifetime ago ?

- throwaway66201 3y agoWell my grandfather was born years after that event, so it is kinda surprising, especially considering his profession.
- layer8 3y agoMy still-alive father was born before Wirth, and my grandparents were born in the 1800s. Generations can span quite a range.
- disgruntledphd2 3y agoYeah, mine too (although my father died a few years back). That being said, I was at a colleagues wedding and his grandparents were the same age as my parents, which was pretty odd.
- theultdev 3y agoI have a young family. My great grandmother was alive until about my highschool graduation. People got married and had kids (age 15 for my grandma) early back in the day, not too odd.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoI meant that WW2 seems so long ago to me, especially considering all the social and technological changes that have happened since then. It's interesting to me that a person can see so much change over his lifetime.
