I was in college and we were leaving the campus for Thanksgiving break. I remember walking back to our sorority house and hearing the news. I turned around and went back to tell my sorority sisters the terrible news. We were all in shock....so very sad.

The next year, a group of my sorority sisters decided to go on a vacation to Cape Cod. One of them knew the governess for Bobby Kennedy's kids. She called her friend and we all went into the Kennedy Compound and met all of Bobby Kennedy's kids. They were so cute and very polite. I remember Ethel and Eunice were walking across the street after a game of tennis. The Kennedy clan had a golf cart called "The Toonerville Trolley" (a 4-seater!) and some of the kids were seen riding around in it. Going to the Kennedy Compound was a very cool experience.

What happened to JFK and Bobby.....so very tragic and sad.

November 22nd, 1963
 

I was a high school junior in Sister Hilda's chemistry lab at Our Lady of the Lake HS(now Pope John XXIII)in Sparta, NJ...she had left me and another guy in charge(big mistake)...Sister Angelina came on the intercom and announced the shooting...around the lab some students just dropped glassware on the floor, so many cried...it was terrible. They sent us home immediately...it was the end of innocence, the end of Camelot and nothing would ever be the same again! Unbelievable events in unbelievable times!!!
