Not me, of course. But certainly some people at least.

US President Gerald Ford (1913-2006) was alive during the first NFL season, and was still living during the birth of every current player (the youngest being born in 2005).

The Beach Boys, formed in 1961, is still active and touring today in 2026. Two of its original members are alive today, and 3 of them were alive until last year.

A band (the modern concept of a "band" didn't really exist at the time, but this is just for the sake of comparison) that had been formed in 1896 and had the same longevity would've still been active in 1961. This hypothetical band would've had its members born between 1875 and 1880 (using the same ages as the Beach Boys when they formed).

The era of the "Wild West" was still ongoing in 1896, and the members could've hypothetically could've robbed a few stagecoaches shortly before forming the band. They also hypothetically could've put the band on a temporary hiatus so they could enlist to fight in the Spanish American War. They would've all been too old to be drafted into WW1 (only ages 21-30 were drafted in the US). They would've formed the band during the administration of President Grover Cleveland and would still be performing during the Kennedy Administration.

Barry Goldwater- For those unaware- Was the 1964 GOP presidential candidate and lost in a landslide to LBJ due to fears Goldwater was too extreme, high sympathy for the Dems after the assassination of JFK the year before and Goldwater’s own opposition to the Civil Rights Act. He died from a stroke on 29th of May 1998.

Sonic the Hedgehog- Which I hope needs no introduction- Was a video game released by Sega about (take a wild guess) Sonic the Hedgehog in 1991, And is a 2D platformer. The game has spawned a franchise consisting of other games, multiple anime shows, cartoons, comics and- In the past decade or so- A movie franchise.

Barry Goldwater died in 1998 while Sonic 1 released in 1991, Meaning the two co-existed for around 7 years. From accounts I could find, Goldwater’s health didn’t start declining until 1996 when he suffered his first stroke that damaged the frontal lobe of his brain. This means even if you exclude the years Goldwater‘s health and mental state was declining (when he was unlikely to play a video game), He still could have played Sonic 1 for around 5 years. In fact- In 1991 Goldwater was receiving the Humanitarian Award from the National Urban League’s Phoenix chapter.

Goldwater also lived to see Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992), Sonic CD (1993), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994), and Sonic and Knuckles (1994). He died a few months (around 200 days) before the release of Sonic Adventure in Japan, And obviously never saw the release of any future Sonic game. He also could have read the first 58 or so issues of the Sonic Archie Comics. He also could have watched the shows Sonic the Hedgehog (1993-1994) and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (1993).

Wes Anderson, who directed Rushmore, also attended St. John's. Elizabeth attended from 1994-2002, which means she was on campus during Rushmore's filming in 1998.

The two species in question are the Longnose Gar and the Alligator gar.
