I can't believe it's been 50 years since President Kennedy died. Anyone old enough to remember this, knows where they were on this date. I was 14 years old & home from school with the flu laying down on the sofa, watching t.v. with my mom when the program was interrupted by the bulletin. It was a very sad day indeed.

I was home playing on the living room floor in front of the TV with my mom and remember it like yesterday.

I was just coming over to the 'band room' (I was in the marching band all through school) and was going to eat my lunch there when I saw everyone was crying. Found out about the shooting from someone who could actually voice words. Principal on loudspeaker all over campus announced the shooting and sent us all home. Sad sad day.
WARNING! This person is extremely blonde...please type SLOWLY.

I was 4 years old. The president kissed me during a Chicago stop in 1959 when I was a baby.

I was 21 years old at work. I remember my boss, a woman, swore because she was so upset.

Sophmore in high school and in my typing class. I'll never forget the sickening feeling in my stomach.

Our school had what they called the Community Hall where they sometimes took us for movies, indoor sports etc. We were walking back to our classes when Mrs. Wilcox, our school secretary and a good friend, came running down the road crying and screaming, "Our President has been shot!" I was 10. Funny how clear it all still is.....Still makes me sick.
Lotus Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

I was 21 and I'd just given my last piano pupil of the day his lesson. I switched on the TV to watch the news - and what a shock !! A very SAD shock indeed
