[NCC-1701]

I was in the third grade at St. Thomas Elementary School when the principal come on the intercom with the news. Like the rest of the country, our collective jaws hit the floor. The school was closed shortly thereafter. I got home and for the rest of the weekend watched the coverage with my family. I also was witness to Oswald's killing. What a surreal weekend!!!

BTW, this is my VERY FIRST time on Free Republic. I've been looking at it for a while and thought I'd join in the fray. Glad to be here!!!!!

Well then, welcome aboard. I assume by your screen name that you're a Star Trek fan. How do you think the new movie is going to be? Haven't heard much about it as of yet.

No, no... the "fray" is at that other place (Slate http://slate.msn.com/default.aspx?id=3936).

Heh-heh... just joshin' with ya'... ;)

Welcome to Free Republic!

Where was I when JFK was victimized by the Military/Industialist coup? Let's see... I was about 2 years old and was probably sitting on my living room floor in the midst of a mess of toys and causing my poor mom all kinds of hell.

Later...
