Remember that 87 was preceded by not a lot of gloom n doom press, but a LOT of volatility. For about a week and a half, becasue I was on vacation down Burr Oak/southern Ohio way for that week prior to the actual one day crunch....and I would get the car radio on once or twice a day to see what was hapening....

1987 was a mere blip
