I was at work, all alone, no radio or TV, at this small employment agency. I had no idea. When my new boyfriend (now my husband :^)) called me at work later that day, he told me about it, but knew only sketchy details.
I had to wait until 4:30 before I could get in my car and turn on the radio. I couldn't believe it. My poor mother had been watching all the reports for hours and couldn't handle it anymore, as she couldn't stop crying. I remember that she sat and watched Disney's "The Lion King" over and over again. I went to see her, and there she was watching Timon and Pumba for about the fourth time that day.
I will never forget the photo of the fireman holding little Bailey. In fact, I still have a magazine (Newsweek?) with that cover somewhere in my memorabilia.
I remember Bailey too, and Edie's two little boys. I was happy to see later that she started a new family but I don't know how she made it through those days. I remember her being very outspoken against the government and a coverup to the point of threats being made against her....
