Where where you when JFK Died? - Page 9

greg63 · 06:52 AM

On November 22, 1963, when he was hardly past his first thousand days in office, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullets as his motorcade wound through Dallas, Texas. Kennedy was the youngest man elected President; he was the youngest to die....

Just wanted to post in memory of JFK.

I was only three months old when JFK was shot, but I've always found the stories people tell about where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news interesting.

Good point, I had forgotten about that.

It's strange that my dad wasn't even born when this happened. He was born in '66, I was born in '85.

I was a twinkle in my daddy's eye

Didn't come out of the uterus til April 1964.

Reminds me of John Ritter's daughter with Amy Yasback (Casey from WIngs).

Born 09/11/1998.

Then THAT 09/11 . . . /2001

Then her dad died 09/11/2003.

John, still the saddest loss since Phil Hartman, IMO.

I was four years old.

I don't remember the assassination, but I do remember watching the funeral on TV in our living room on a black and white TV. My mom was crying and I didn't understand why.

Did you salute the procession?

I've been to Dealey Plaza. You can certainly see how a shot from the Grassy Knoll would have been easy. Three shots from the sixth floor of the Book Bldg would be much tougher.

I've been to Arlington to the JFK gravesite. The only other President buried in Arlington is William Howard Taft. Woodrow Wilson is entombed in Washington's National Cathedral.

Other big event "where were you" days?

I was a senior at Van Horn High School when Elvis died.

I was on the air in a radio station in Columbia, MO when the Challenger blew up.

I was working in my office late at the Mizzou student radio station the night John Lennon was shot. I still have the teletype copy at home.

I was in Candlestick Park watching the Giants vs. Cubs during the OJ White Bronco Chase. They put the news coverage on the scoreboard during the game.

I was having lunch at Bobo's Drive In in Topeka when the OJ Trial Jury said not guilty.

I was driving to work when the first plane hit the first tower on 9/11. I saw the second plane hit live on TV a few minutes later after I got to the office.

Damn.
Not you, me. Just when I was starting to feel like the young one around here.

was not alive... I don't think my parents were married at that time either...

Hydrae · 11-22-2013, 10:00 AM

I was three. Don't remember anything about it. Probably didn't matter much to me at that age!
