We all went home after it was announced in Vancouver.
Watched lot of TV coverage afterward, recall seeing L.H.O shot live. I would have been 10.
But not as scary as being told how you needed to duck and cover. Knew where all the best ditches were between school and home.

That's interesting. I clearly remember I had just gotten home from school. My mother was watching the event on TV and she started screaming "they shot the president" over and over. My classmate next door and I both came running over to each other's houses at the same time...we met in between our houses and we were both freaking out. Very vivid memory. I grew up in Montclair NJ, maybe we had different hours
Different school hours is definitely the answer, and IIRC it was the last period of the day when it was announced.
Seven years ago today I lost the best damn dog I ever had. RIP Sophia. Cancer sucks.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Emancipation Proclamation, officially Proclamation 95,[2][3] was a presidential proclamation and executive order issued by United States President Abraham Lincolnon January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War. The Proclamation had the effect of changing the legal status of more than 3.5 million enslaved African Americans in the secessionist Confederate states from enslaved to free. As soon as slaves escaped the control of their enslavers, either by fleeing to Union lines or through the advance of federal troops, they were permanently free. In addition, the Proclamation allowed for former slaves to "be received into the armed service of the United States". The Emancipation Proclamation was a significant part of the end of slavery in the United States.

The iconic night club The Stone Poney in Asbury Park, NJ opened it's doors for the first time. Anyone familiar with Bruce Springsteen or John Bon Jovi will know this venue that helped launch their careers. Happy 50th Anniversary.

On this day 113 years ago, John Moses Browing received the patent for the iconic 1911 pistol. Used as the U.S. military sidearm for more than 70 years, the 1911 platform continues to be popular for competition shooting, self defense, and recreational target shooting. Over the years it has been chambered in over 30 cartridges (that i can find) plus an unknown number of wildcat cartridges.
