but I had to look to make sure.

I remember being in 3rd grade when a "hall monitor" came in and whispered in the teacher's ear. My teacher put her head down and started crying then told us JFK had been assassinated.

I saw Bobby Kennedy the day (or the day before) he was shot as his motorcade when to the Sacramento Airport.

I remember Nixon pulling off his re-election while people (including me) marched in the streets against the war.

I remember Reagan as Governor of California gutting the education system and the mental health system, then going on and doing it to the whole nation.

I remember walking out of a restaurant at lunch time and seeing a anti war protest coming down the road against Gulf One and getting arrested that day for joining. I remember my "pals" at the bar refusing to speak to me for months because of it.
