My favorite was Live Aid in 1985. Just to correct the impression that Life ended that fateful day in 1972, I did my first Life story in 1962 and my last in 1989. My favorite was Live Aid in 1985.

I think I was too young to really be a part of the LIFE culture, but I know what it meant to a lot of people. Hopefully the rest of the series will be enjoyable, as well. Thanks, and thanks.

As a sidenote, my mom has every issue of Life bound, from 1946-1972. I still go over there and look at issues that take me back to when I was a kid. Jeff Sam,

It's why I decided to study science and eventually major in a science as an undergrad. That's not a startling revelation, of course, but scratch someone of my generation and you'll imprints of LIFE in our minds and souls. I've always admired LIFE, too, for the remarkable photographers that were given extraordinary rein in both content and creativity. Thanks, Sam. A remarkable piece, and I relished the memory.
