Our World in ’84-’85 What will we remember about the summer of 1984? The Olympics of course! We watched our team arise to claim more medals than ever. Our country’s pride could be seen on the faces of teammates and fans. We remember Mary Lou Retton dominating the gymnastics competition and stealing the hearts of many Americans, or Greg Louganis breaking all the records in high and low diving board competition. Carl Lewis matched Jesse Owens’ record in track, winning gold in four events. At the closing of our summer we could recall that for the first time in history a woman was chosen as a vice-presidential candidate.

The world’s second artificial heart recipient, Bill Schroeder, had a successful operation opening the door to more advancement in this field. Cabbage Patch dolls once again dominated little girls’ Christmas wish lists, and stores had a hard time keeping them in stock. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Intro 3
