"I think Bear said he was "close to his Mom" so to speak."
ROFL!
Thanks for sharing your memories of that. I think my Mom said she remembers waiting for the bus when she heard about it. My Dad also talks a lot about the Cuban Missile Crisis--he was in the Army then and was called down to Florida for that.
Sigh...I'm listening to Rush, but I have the CSPAN link on showing the arrival at the airport. I was just remembering being at Bush41's Inauguration and seeing the Reagan's helicopter fly over the Capitol as they left.
