I'll never forget that day -- probably one of my earliest memories. I was in second grade and the school Principle came on the intercom system, gave us the bad news and dismissed us. My house was right behind the school grounds so I ran home and my mother was already watching the news. Walter Cronkite was just making the announcement, and I think he was starting to cry.

This thread has made me a little curious -- think I'll go on uTube to see if the Cronkite announcement has been captured -- I'm sure it's somewhere on the Internet.
