jfk assassination...where were you?

Published Nov. 21, 2008

 11/22/63, JFK was assassinated. Saturday marks the 45 yr anniversary of our loss of innocence. I realize a bunch of you were not born yet. For those that were, where were you when you heard the news?  I was a small fry, and I was at home, sick from school, and someone called my Mom...we turned on the TV (black and white), Walter Cronkite was reporting JFK had been shot, 10 minutes later he announced that he had died.

I was 8 months old and living down in the sandhills.

I was in the 8th grade coming in from recess (PE) as we called it in those days. Someone ran to us and told the teacher what had happened. Sad day. I remember most people crying. Everyone went to the auditorium to watch TV.

Wasn't even a thought when that happened.

However I consider myself over informed on the subject with all the materials I have ingested on it. I even have the local papers for the day of, and following days (both morning paper and evening papers). Surprised they are still in good condition after all these years.

It was the day of my grandfathers funeral. The story I was told was that some people were crying as they were getting out of their cars to go to the funeral. My parents said they were people you wouldn't have thought would be crying over my grandfather. They had heard it on the radio. That's when my family heard about it. I was 4 years old, too young to remember any of it.

I had skipped the last half of school that day and was on the way to Roanoke Rapids w/ then boyfriend. We spent the entire weekend watching it all on TV. I'll never forget hearing it on the radio that day and the days that followed. Numbness doesn't cover it. Wonder how things would be today if that had not occurred?

I was 2...in the Philipenes.

Yeah, I wasn't even a twinkle yet.

I was it the 4th grade in Charlotte. Our teacher was called out and when she came back in she told us President Kennedy had been shot. The whole class had a prayer at that time.

Second grade. Still remember it vividly.

I wasn't even a squiggly squirmer meets the egge yet.
