Not credit, exactly.
Let those that follow get to see glimpses of what life was like in those days. When unique individuals made a genuine lasting mark on humanity.
I can't cite an example, but I think a book on the lines of "here's what it was like living in the mid-late 20th century and here are some of the interesting things I saw and experienced" from your perspective would be a great read. Not to toot your own horn, and not to be a real-life "Forrest Gump"-like piece (I didn't like that movie much), but to show the humanity and history of the times.
Just a thought. :-)
Cheers,
Scott.
