Our weekly trek back in time landed us in 1982 on Saturday Morning Flashback.
37 years ago technology was moving rapidly with the release of the eventual best-selling personal computer and the arrival of the first commercial CD players. MTV was creating a second British Invasion with music videos from bands like Bow Wow Wow, ABC and A Flock of Seagulls.
In January our town shivered through a pre-polar-vortex cold snap when the temperatures plummeted to 26 below without wind chill. We lost John Belushi but welcomed Prince William and Vietnam veterans were memorialized in a newly-opened wall in Washington DC with the names of those that sacrificed all.
