What Happened in 1986? Part VI: Births & Weddings


This is the last installment in our “What Happened in 1986?” series. It’s been fun and actually informative researching what else was happening while System ID was opening its doors. This one has a bit more of the human touch to it as we look at those that began their life and those that decided to live life together. After all, many entrepreneurs compare starting a business to labor pains and many others say their business is like their spouse.
Schwarzenegger and Shriver will be celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, just like System ID.
