I distinctly remember hearing it at a friend’s house, sitting in their 3-season porch and play room with the wicker furniture. And later that day I have a vauge recollection of mom and dad huddled around the TV. But mainly being in that porch and listening to the mom talking on the phone in the kitchen about it. I was aware something big had happened, and that this person called the president had been killed and that she was very upset.
I was 3 years and 2 months old! The only thing else I remember about that house (they used to babysit me) was that sometimes at lunch she would give me half a Twinkie!
I think my next memory of anthing is from when I was 12!
It really had an impact on you at such a young age as well as most of the nation. thanks for sharing
