I'm not old enough to remember when JFK was killed, and I was older than 6th grade (holy crap) but I clearly remember 9/11. I had been up early and was watching a rerun of ER on cable. I'd fallen asleep and woke up to coverage of it. When I realized it wasn't ER, I thought they'd changed shows for some reason. Then I saw that every channel was showing coverage and figured out what it was. Not long after that the second tower was hit. It was one of those things you just never forget.

When JFK was killed I was at work..all the machines in the factory were banging away when our foreman came in and told us..total silence..they brought a radio in and we just stood around and listened and they sent us all home early...coming through downtown on the bus I bought a paper..everyone was just blank looking or teary....I still have the paper....

Yeah, unfortunately I remember the John Birchers raising a ruckus about the local college teaching.....Communism in a Government class! The instructor was harassed and threatened on a regular basis. Not a good memory! The Cuban Missle crisis was a big scary mystery to most of us.

i don't remember the death of JFK, but i remember the "aftereffects"...meaning it was on everyone's mind for years after that. and then came bobby and MLK. so i remember driving through d.c. with my parents and asking my dad to duck. and he said why? and i was afraid someone would shoot him in the head.

Candy rings, candy necklaces--didn't like eating them as much as wearing them, until they started to 'melt'!!

Steen, sixth grade? Really? I guess it was that long ago now and that long that we've been "fighting the war on terror." What a horrible chapter in our history these last 10 years!

Funny thing about the air raid drills during the Cuban Missile Crisis was that it was just a normal part of my day at school. It's a bit disturbing to look back on that now, though.
As for the lizard, he lived in the yard and the friend had simply caught him for me to entertain me since I was feeling poorly and all swollen with the mumps!
President Kennedy...I was in Mrs. Kamm's second grade class. She came in and said that the President was dead and that we should all pray for his family. Uncomprehending but sensing the gravity, we bowed our heads.
