Let's see, moon landing, we were at our little piece of land in Massachusetts, huddled around our neighbors tv watching it. JFK... wasn't born yet. MLK. don't remember. Vaguely remember hearing about it on the news. Elvis....I was home watching TV when they interruptd with a special report about it.

Well, I will make some general comments concerning these events, First, the assassination of J.F.K., i was in grade 6 at the time and in school the day it happened, I remember they cancelled school that afternoon and sent everyone home. J.F.K's assassination would prove to be the first in a string of assassinations including that of Martin Luther King Jr. Also, in my humble opinion the death of J.F.K and the arrival of the BEATLES on the music scene marked the end of that era we associate with the 1950's an era which really ran from about 1955 to 1962.
If the assassinations marked the low point of the 1960's then the Landing on the Moon was the high water mark.
The death of Elvis Presley, which occurred in 1977 I believe marked end of an legend and ICON from the 50's. I was personally never an Elvis die hard fan.Although I did buy at least one of his records. Elivis Presley had a fanatical following of admirers whom to this day are just as fanatical as back in the day!!
