Just getting ready to kick loose from my mama...

LORAINE, YOU BOUNCE BACK REAL FAST AND THAT IS A BLESSING. I WAS IN SCHOOL THAT DAY AND COULDN'T FIRURE OUT WHY ALL MY TEACHERS WERE CRYING.LOVE

I wasn't alive for another 18 years lol

I was nine months old so don't have much recollection of the incident. ;)

Hugs! Morus

i'm not 40 yet soooo i wasn't a twinkle in the eye yet

I was 6 yrs old and watching tv, still sad over the loss of my dad the month before in October.

I was 16. I was in my bedroom when my 11 year old brother came running in and told me it was on TV. I watched for awhile then went into the backyard. The lady next door came over to the fence and we talked about it. I watched all the coverage on TV, there was nothing else on for days, I remember it like it was yesterday.By the way, when Elvis died I was on my way to work and they had a special bulletin about it on the radio. When Princess Di died I was watching TV and they interupted the show to say she had been involved in an accident, and then a little later they said she was reportedly dead. I was watching TV and saw the live shots of the 2nd plane hitting the twin towers. Some things you just don't forget.

I was a nine month old baby but my Mom says we heard it on the radio in the car.

My family was living overseas in England (Dad was in the Air Force). We were watching television and truly could not believe what we saw unfold!!! By not being in the USA, the whole thing had a surreal and unbelievable feeling attached to it. That day will always stay with me!!!!

Wow, not being an American I didn't realize it was today. I was 18 so I would have been in college and we would not have heard about it until that night. things were a lot slower then. But from memory it was in the night's news papers being sold on the streets and as I didn't have any money I had to wait until I got home and my g/father brought one home with him. then we sat and watched it on the news. It was a bit event even here in Australia as he was really a much loved president here. The first one o fthe real TV generation, so the first one we really knew.

I was only 5 and don't remember it at all. My husband has a vivid memory of that day. Where he was when he heard, etc.

I was in the third grade and we listened to some of the radio coverage through the school's loudspeaker system. They released us early and I remember riding my bike home and crying. Kennedy was a great proponent of the race to the moon and we lived where all that was happening. It was a time of great shock and uncertainty for what might happen to the missile program.

I wasn't born for another 13 years and that would have made my mother 6 years old!! Oh my!! I have seen alot of footage about it though. However, it is hard for me to fathom a nation being that upset about the passing of a president. I guess people don't feel the way they used to about presidents anymore. It was a very tragic day in history taht is for sure! Thanks for the topic!

Tink

I was in math class in grade nine when they came and told us. We where then sent to our home rooms. Everyone was crying and upset. We loved him even though we where canadians marilyn
