I was in my last period math class in high school, and we were all walkig around crying. I know that would never happen today.

I trembled.Isn't that amazing? I still cannot bear to watch footage of that day. It was the most traumatic thing we had ever experienced.
I think because it brought back memories of long ago when something was lost forever.
Oh, yes.
I also saw Ruby shoot Oswald. It was said that was the first live death on TV.

you are welcome! I find it fascinating that there was nothing in the media about it. I can never forget it.
