I still remember as if it were yesterday.
I was standing at the corner of Broad and Market Streets in Newark, New Jersey waiting for a bus. I had a half day off from my job as secretary at Continental Insurance Company.
People starting buzzing. I think the bus stop was in front of a Nedick's Hot Dog place......so someone must have had a t.v. or radio on.
Everyone began telling each other that J.F.K. had been shot........
The rest is history. That night my "boyfriend", later to be husband, and I took a ride into Manhattan where all the lights were out......
On our car radio, funereal type music was playing. It was all very somber.
Days later.........my mom and I had the t.v. on and witnessed LIVE Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvy Oswald as he was being walked through the crowd.

7th grade study hall. We were told over the loudspeaker. Don't remember much else except watching the funeral on TV.
