The 1980s was the decade in which Christian Weston Chandler was born, under the name Christopher Weston Chandler. (His name wasn't changed until 1994.) According to Chris, he had a lot of trouble growing up, and even coped with a prolonged episode of muteness.
Source material referring to the 1980s is scarce, and this article is mostly based on statements made by Chris at a later age, and on image material.
1980
The year Bob and Barbara got married.
Events of 1980
- 1980 - Cole moves away.[1] Who he stayed with is unclear, as he would turn 17 this year and was thus unable to legally live on his own.

- 7 June - Bob and Barbara get married.[3][4]
