I was watching cartoons when the news broke in and was reluctant to wake my father who was taking his nap. I finally decided to wake him and he told me to always wake him when a President gets shot.
I was in the County Recorder's office in Los Angeles where I worked searching title for a title company, and was in the process of proposing to my first wife. It turned out to be a bad day all around!!!!

One guy said his boss screamed "Thank God!" & was later fired for his outburst.
I can remember when Reagan was shot, we found out the news in my HS classroom after lunch. I think we had a bad source and people expected him to die, only months after being elected.

I was in college.....in chemistry lab when we heard the news on a scratchy little radio. I broke my separation funnel when I lunged to turn up the volume. It was an awful couple of days before the college sent us all home a few days early for the Thanksgiving holiday. The funnel cost me over 30 bucks, the loss of JFK cost me, and this country, many years of "what if's" and a profound feeling of promise unrealized.
