Where were you??
Where were you on November 22nd, 1963 ? I was in a 3rd grade class room when the news came over the loud speaker. The day still haunts many...sad and tragic...still clouded in mystery for millions of Americans.

Re: Where were you??
First grade. The school Principal made the announcement over the P.A. and immediately instructed us to stand and sing God Bless America. Etched in my mind like it was yesterday. Some years after, I remember my father saying how absolutely awful Thanksgiving was just after the assassination.
I don't know if it was live or a replay but I remember seeing Oswald being shot on television and going down to the basement, where by father was working on something, to tell him what I had just seen. He looked at me in total disbelief and bewilderment. I've been to Dealy Plaza. It's much more compact than it appears on television. When you're there in person, you really get a sense of how Oswald was literally "right on top" of the motorcade and really puts it in perspective.

I missed it by 67 days!
We had a '70 Catalina with a decal: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". <<<classic Kurt

Re: Where were you??
Not only a sad day for the USA but also a sad day for the world. I was 17 when I heard the news on the radio....I hurried home to watch on TV. Have since visited both the burial site in Arlington and Dealy in Dallas.

Re: Where were you??
I was in 7th grade, and still remember the announcement being made over the school public address system. Pretty sure we were sent home early, and I arrived home to see my parents watching the TV in a state of shock and disbelief.

Re: Where were you??
At the school library. Another student cam in and told us but we didn't believe. Walked home with some friends, and we discussed how untrue such a story could be. Walked in our house and my sisters and Mother were in tears. We were glued to the TV for days!
