[Error: unknown template qotd]The assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. I don't remember news of the actual shooting, but I did watch part of the funeral on TV. My folks were Republicans, but we had a copy of Four Days, the commemorative book about the assassination of the President and the murder of his assassin, and when I was seven my mother shamed me into going back into class with a bandage on my face from a cut by telling me that if little John Jr. could salute his father's coffin, I could take being stared at for a few minutes.
