When we were all at lunch, a huge crowd gathered around his table for the breaking news. There was no internet, cell phones, etc. so we all went to the dorms to tune in to CBS news. My husband says he was on the roof of a house working when John Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were killed. He thinks somebody should pay him to stay off of roofs. :-) It may just mean that he worked a lot on roofing during those years! What amazes me is that so many people that I communicate with on the internet were not even born when Kennedy was killed. Almost unbelievable.
