Draco says he wasn't, though.  

"And father won't tell me =anything= about the last time the Chamber 
was opened, either.  Of course, it was fifty years ago, so it was 
before his time, but he knows all about it, and he says that it was 
all kept quiet and it'll look suspicious if I know too much about it" 
(CoS 12).

Not that I trust either Draco or Lucius to tell the truth, but it is 
said in a casual way that doesn't sound likely to be a lie.  The 
Marauders were at school only 14 years earlier, so there's lots of 
room for Lucius to be before their time but after Riddle's.

A request:  I would love it if someone who understands how to create a 
poll set up one about who we think is going to 
develop/discover/whatever it is JKR said magical powers late in life. 
 It would be a hoot to see how well we predicted it.
