How clearly we remember something 50 years ago. And we lived through a quarter to a fifth of American history. That is one defining moment.
Yep, a defining moment for sure.
I even remember that right after we were told about it, one kid in the back of the room shouted out 'Good!'. Nobody said anything to him, we just turned around and gave him 'a look'. And so did our Woodshop Teacher.
To us it was prolly like our parents on Dec 7th and Pearl Harbor.
