@barbaraslavin1 I was living in Norwalk, Connecticut, and I remember going to a newsstand to get all the papers the day after the assassination. And there was this crusty news vendor, who I remembered as grumpy, crying his eyes out. — PolitiTweet.org

For those who wonder, high-school chemistry class. And, yes, the teacher continued to try to finish the lesson. Also, the wrenching shock of JFK's death is still the defining moment of a generation even though so many horrors (MLK, RFK, Vietnam, 9/11, Covid) followed. — PolitiTweet.org

@catherinejross_ By Saturday of that horrible weekend, I couldn't take watching TV non-stop. So I convinced my parents in Connecticut to let me go to DC with a high-school friend. It was my first flight. And we stood in the cold for hours waiting to view the casket in the Capitol Rotunda. — PolitiTweet.org
