I was a 13 year old in Scotland. I had gone to a First Aid class in the basement of our church. It was about 7pm (7 hour time difference from Texas) when the church minister, suddenly came into the room, face flushed and obviously disturbed. He announced that President Kennedy had been shot and was dead. We were all shocked.

The one thing that I feel on reflection, is that was it was not just the US that lost it's president, but the world lost a champiion for those who were oppressed and treated unfairly.
