i remember much fanfare and celebration in the states when the wall fell.
I was a young kid at the time... but i do remember many people being very excited and happy about it. even my ww2 vet grandfather seemed happy to see that country moving toward a more peaceful and unified existence if memory serves.
I remember some weeks after the wall fell, our teacher had a rather large chunk of it... about the size of a brick i guess. It was passed around the room as we all got a chance to hold that little chunk of history.
