I was walking from class at UNM to my fraternity house. Walking toward me on the same path were several coeds bawling their eyes out. I asked them what was wrong and they gave me the sad news. When I arrived at my frat house the TV room was full of good brothers watching the news. I spent the rest of the day there. A short time prior I had seen him in possibly the same limo in which he was shot, top down, driving up Central Ave (old Route 66) adjoining the campus waving at folks on the sidewalk. He was on a visit to Sandia Labs. JFK cruised Route 66 in Albuquerque - Route 66 News
