Where were you when you heard JFK was shot?

Edited on Sat Nov-22-03 08:13 AM by Skinner
I am too young -- only 32 years old -- so I don't have a story to share. But I am interested to hear some of your stories about the Kennedy assassination. Where were you? How did you find out? How did you feel? What did you do? What were the next few days like, with so much happening?

It was 40 years ago today. What's your story?
