Everyone who was alive on this date remembers where they were when the news broke.
I was alive and I don’t remember what I was doing(probably getting into some sort of trouble)(I was born in 1961).
There are so many conspiracy theories on who killed JFK, I sometimes wonder who DIDN’T kill JFK...
I was twelve years old and in the seventh grade. I was in band practice when someone from the office came in and told Mr. Wiggenbottom (always giggled behind his back about his name, I remember him as a really nice man)...but, he was told, and then we all went back to our rooms. Sat at our desks....wasn’t too long til usual bell. Then I walked home.
I remember my mom crying. Our family was military and definitely Republican, but he was OUR president, and we cried. Then, for several days, a haze of tv....lying on the floor and watching tv. That’s when I became a news junkie, I think, during those days and weeks after Kennedy was murdered. So long ago....and I still remember all the details.

Yup.
Not really. I was a toddler.
