Where were you on November 22, 1963?

[Dominick]

I was in a deer hunting camp in the western Catskills.  I did not get the news until the next day.  I would not have gotten the news for another 4 days but our jeep battery went dead so we pushed it to start and went into Callicoon, New York to have the charging system tested.  A man in the local gas station told us about the assasination.  Shocking.  Dominick

I was 7 and at home in St Louis when it came on the TV.

I was at my parents today for Thanksgiving. My mom doesn't remember why I was at home that day either. I must've been home sick from school.

PS On a less somber note, I went thru Callicoon NY as a kid back in the late '50s & I still remember the beauty of the area & Delaware River.

6 yrs. old, first grade, Fremont, Ca. Still not used to being a "grade" schooler with more classroom responsibilities than those of kindergarden. When the news broke I probably still had some kinda hangover from the Cuban missile crisis as kindergartener (The adults had that "don't wanna scare them too much" way of explaining things, such as "Duck and Dive", but you could read the fear on their faces as only a child can). Must have heard about it at school, but only remember when my older bro. brought home the "reality" of it to me. So I's probably in some denial mode after the assasination and I remember being frustrated that I couldn't watch cartoons the weekend of the funeral. Still heartbreaking to see the old footage of his kids at the funeral procession.

Fifth grade, Mrs. Lauderdale's class.  Principal came over the intercom, told all teachers to report to his office.  Five minutes later she came back crying and broke us the news.
