[Vision2020] Where were you . . .

[Saundra Lund]

While I agree that human memory is flawed, I don't know that I agree with
your sweeping generalization about the inaccuracy of human memory.

 

I was in OKC & was about five weeks shy of my third birthday.  I was at home
with my mother, who was watching her soaps while ironing.  She'd just gotten
her bag of sprinkled clothes out of the fridge when the tragedy hit the air.
I had absolutely no understanding of the actual event, but my mother's
reaction is something I clearly recall - it was the first time I ever saw
her cry - even if I didn't understand The Bigger Picture.

I was also in California,  five days before my 3rd birthday. I don't
remember the assassination, but I do remember the countless stories from my
chrono-peers who all thought that they did. It was my first lesson on the
inaccuracy of human memory.

I was in the 7th grade at Robert Fulton Junior High School in Van Nuys,
California.

The news of Kennedy's assassination was received at about 11:00 AM.  Some of
the teachers were visibly shaken by the news.  The school closed down for
the day at noon.

Do you remember where you were when . . .
