What were you doing when.....

[Anita]

I was driving back to the dorm at SUNY Stony Brook when a news bulletin on the radio announced that Kennedy had been shot. By the time I arrived at school he had died. Students were just wandering around in a daze, stunned, crying followed by denial and despair. It was a Friday afternoon. I left campus and drove the two hours back home. All we did was watch the TV coverage for the next three days. It was a very somber Thanksgiving that year. And the world as I knew it was gone forever.
