Where did the years go?   It seems that it was only yesterday that we heard about the Mexico City earthquake of 1985.
It started at 7:18 local time and centered around 250 miles west of the city.  It lasted 3 minutes.  After the fact, 3,000 buildings in Mexico City were demolished and another many more suffered serious damage.
Sadly, thousands died and were injured.    
Days later, groups in Dallas raised funds and medical supplies for the victims.  It was nice such an outpouring of love and support for the victims of Mexico City.  
Again, where did so many years go?
