Boy, that succeeded in making me feel old, Gearld? I was working for Pacific Telephone the day Kennedy was shot. Probably never before or since has the communications network of this country had such a meltdown.
I'd never want to go through that again.
Good hunting. LB

I was near Mountainaire NM hunting coyotes at the time. My brother and I heard the booms and you could see alot of contrails in the sky. I did not really think to much of it a the time since the white sands missle range was to the south and they put up arrows for missle test quite often. A short while later while heading to the next stand we heard the bad news on the radio. We had pull off the road to have a moment of silence and to reflect on what we had seen and heard earlier.

Gerald,John Kennedy was assassinated,Nov.22-1963. My soon to be wife and i were out joy rideing in my 1948 studebaker when it came over the radio.It turned what was suppose to be a nice enjoyable ride into a sad day
I think of those brave men and women who are willing to risk there life and limb for the the space program.They must have had a lot of faith in the Shuttle...I wonder how many of us would be willing to take the risk? [ August 09, 2005, 11:29 PM: Message edited by: Melvin ]

What a coincidence Leonard. My dad was working for Bell Telephone in the Bay Area when Kennedy was assassinated. Were you living in Calif. at that time too?
Good hunting

1964 is when I started predator hunting after I got out of the Army. When Kennedy was assassinated I was in the service over in Germany. Talking about old...Leonard was born 6 months before me and I was born in March of 43. Rich is also a 43 War baby....But NASA was from the 1930s, only a few years after Buffalo Bill and Wyatt Earp died lol.

Nancy was born in March of '43, she makes the most of it, ragging on me for five months, about being older, until she catches up!

'64? I have shoes that old.
Good hunting. LB

If NASA is THAT dang old, how in heck did he manage to land that space shuttle? He must be in better shape than I thought he was.

'63 here. I was 8 months old when the JFK assassination took place. 5 years old when his brother RFK was killed. Faintly remember everyone being pretty upset. Mom doing a lot of crying.
Byron, ya young buck, I'm about 4 months older than you.
Hey Leonard, do you still have any of those cool telephone company tools? Pole climbing spikes, drills and such? My dad recently pressed his old portable handset into service when his new house was being built. The telephone wires were ran to the outside but not connected inside yet so he did the "Green Acres" thing and hooked up his trusty Bell handset. Not at the top of the pole though.
Good hunting

I'm way too young to remember where I was when I heard the news about Kennedy. What I do remember about him is that he attended a funeral of my Congressman cousin (a democrat, I don't claim him...)shortly before that. My only memory of JFK is a shadowy figure walking towards a helicopter - and that may very well have been planted by a teacher in later years asking me what I remember. What I very clearly remember is all of the guys in the suits and dark sunglasses standing around - they made an impression!
