    Being born in 1969, it was a busy year. I am surprised that it didn't take 2 pages. Thanks for leading me to the website.

    So the movie of the year for your birth year is Mary Poppins, "A teaspoon of sugar helps the medicine go down..."

    Bright Blessings....Bogo

    Mary Poppins was the first movie I saw at a Drive-In Theatre. I was born in '62. It's fun to look back.
