Just curious if people remember where they were the day on of our top 3 Presidents was shot. I was 4, I think it was my first memory. Thank GOD the LORD saved him!
I was in Lawndale wiring a sound board at a car stereo shop and had one of the radios on the news or some early am talk stuff
I was a College student, riding the Boston subway (Green Line). I was in Park Street station and heard people discussing it. At the time, I was the only person I knew who thought Reagan was a good person. I went home and watched the news.
I was a junior in high school. Made me sick to my stomach — was SO thankful he pulled through!

I was in Armor Officer Advanced Course. I had the day off because I passed the pre-test for that training. Watched the news all day.
“Are you all Republicans?”
I was in Ocean City, MD, on the beach with my girlfriend, who was smokin’ hot. We both volunteered for Reagan/Bush in ‘80 and’84.
We were so devastated and upset we went back home.
When Bush was still popular
we are today
Was 12 years old, but it was all over the news even in Ireland. Coverage seemed to be positive overall and not derogatory, or else my father would have had something to say about it.
I was in the shower and I heard it on the radio. We lived on Latchford Ave. in Hacienda Heights, CA. I’ll never forget it.
I was stationed at Fort Lewis, WA, Reagan was my Commander-in-Chief and very popular among the military, especially after the Carter disaster.
“When Bush was still popular”
...correct.
Was home. Had injured my back on the job and was recuperating.
Should have been:
“I hope you are all Republicans”.
I was about five months old so I suspect my attention was directed elsewhere.
Darn, you are good.
I was at work - Tacoma Boatbuilding Company. Went home as soon as the news broke to follow the story.
JFK, I was in the 4th grade when it was announced.
What was the date again?
