..the only thing that comes close to it in shock value in my lifetime was 9/11.

Even when President Reagan was shot, I just knew he was going to make it...

I was in first grade, lived 35 miles from Dallas, Oswald’s niece was in my class, and I’ve been fascinated with the events of that day ever since. Through the years I have had the opportunity to meet MANY of the people involved that day. I’ve met Oswald’s brother, 4 of the doctors who attended JFK at Parkland, many of the Dallas reporters there that day, Jim Leavelle who was handcuffed to LHO when he was shot, Buell Frazier, who drove LHO to work that day, one of the arresting officers at the Texas Theater, and several of the investigators including Robert Groden. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 45 years.........I hope that some day we know the truth.

I was in the 7th grade in study hall. A friend in the 8th grade was listening to a transistor radio. The principal came to the door and called the study hall teacher out into the hall. He came back in, obviously upset, and asked “Does anyone have a transistor radio?

My friend was afraid he was in trouble so he hid the radio. Then the teacher said, “If anyone has a radio, turn it on. The president has been shot.” The rest of the day was spent listening to the radio.

A few days later we watched live TV when we Oswald was killed. Historic times we lived in.
