SteelBunz Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 My mother tells me I was being pushed around a shopping cart in a grocery store at the time. I was still less than a year old. I get the sense from her that the mood of the country was very similar to what I remember feeling on 9/11. But I DO remember watching Robert Kennedy's funeral on our black and white TV a five years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was in the mess hall at boot camp getting ready to eat and then go graduate. Â The eating and graduating didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargerz Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was in my homeroom class in high school. We all sat there stunned when it was announced, and a few of the girls began to cry. I'll never forget that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holy Roller Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 4th grade. Our teacher, Mr. Williams came back after lunch, had us stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance, and then calmly announced that President Kennedy had been killed. He was very quiet and we knew something terrible had happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Passing from one HS class (Algebra) to Mrs. Kutza's English class. My brother stopped me in the hall and said "Did you hear JFK was shot?". I said, "OK what's the punchline, I'm running late for class!". All I had to do was look around and see all the girls crying I realized it was not a joke. Getting to class and seeing Mrs. Kutza crying sealed it. I'm guessing that was around 1:00pm, but not sure.

Footballjoe Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was in grade school. I went to Little Flower Elementary a Catholic School. I think I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade. I remember an announcement being made over the loud speaker. We were sent home for the day. I knew it was a big deal with the President being shot but really did not understand the entire picture. I remember going home and sitting in front of the TV most of the day with tthe rest of the family watching updates as they came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Flick Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 My dad talks about how when Robert got shot, that was just as surreal. You wake up 4 1/2 years later and groggily see the headlines 'Kennedy Shot' on a paper in the morning (killed late at night Cali time he was in Chicago). One of those 30 seconds where he couldn't figure out what the f was going on, and then it sinking in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 No disrespect intended as I loved JFK, but did anyone know that Shemp Horward (3 Stooges) died on the same date in 1955? Just a POI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
