November 22, 1963
Nov. 22, 1945, hmmm Nuremberg had just started.
It's a tuff crowd!
lol
I just tried to create another post with the correct date and it got pulled...LOL
I was 12 and in grammar school at a Catholic school in Chicago, The announcement came over the intercom in each room then they just played the radio for a couple of hours, We all went into the church to either pray or it was a special Mass. I remember just staring at that intercom box.
In 5th grade and Mr Denowski came into the room and told us that JFK had been shot and was dead.
I went with my dad that night to get a fish fry..
Conceived probably about a week or two before.
I was chasin tail. I am 58 now.
I was in Mrs. Plump’s Algebra I class at Garden City Junior High School when the announcement was made over the classroom loudspeaker.
Second row. First seat on the door side. The girl next to me had big boobs - in eighth grade. Made it hard to concentrate.
JFK getting killed didn’t help that problem.
But I can still do 2020-1963=57.
Barbi had been quoted as saying ‘Math class is tough!’.
The boiling OUTRAGE that followed from the American Association of University Women made Mattel remove this doll from the market asap!
NYT, October 21, 1992.
Hey, maybe you were in my class since that’s where I was 57 years ago…
Oh wow. I was watching live TV and saw Jack Ruby shoot Oswald. It was surreal. On my first trip to Dallas, I met up with a college buddy for dinner and asked that we see the grassy knoll. It was so small.
But, just WOW!
I was undyslexing 75 to 57.
Learning that 2020 - 1963 = 57...but if you’re asking what I was doing in 1963 then I was a little over 2 years old so the only thing I know was that I was at England Air Force base near Alexandria Louisiana...unless my parents took a trip somewhere.
I was in my mother, who was pregnant with me.
Don’t remember JFK’s death. Remember being upset that the Saturday morning cartoons were preempted for his funeral.
Although I tend to think of 22 Nov as the anniversary of the death of CS Lewis, who died with far less fanfare on earth, but perhaps more in heaven.
I was sitting in the radio room on a U.S. Navy submarine off the coast of FL. I was 20 years old and the first thought I had was, “this is it,” this is what I signed up for. Almost exactly one year earlier my boat had stood guard in the waters off of the coast of Cuba, along with a large naval fleet, and stared down the Soviets in what could have easily turned into WWIII.
We are approaching another crisis today. This one, though, is from our own (destroy from within).
Oh well, this one turned out to be pretty funny anyway - maybe even better. Don’t take it personally - just laugh with these guys - every body needs a comic relief and this was a good one...
I was in the fifth grade.
A few days later I watched on TV when Jack Ruby shot Oswald.
I became a conspiracy theorist on _that_ day—before I even knew what a conspiracy theorist was!
You should just use the editing feature.
oh, wait.
