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!!!!

Not born, but people I talk to can remember cars pulling to the side of the road. Or people hating Dallas.
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.

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government." Thomas Jefferson

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.

rofllol :lol: This country will will continue to suffer for many decades to come from the Kennedy klan legacy. The less of them there are the better it is for America.

I wasn't born yet but my parents always got emotional when they talked about what is was like, even though they didn't like him that much.

I guess it's like the doctor said to President Regan just before they operated on him, when Reagan remarked, "I hope youre all republicans."

"Today, we're all republicans, Mr. President."
