        I watched it on TV. I was 10 and very protected. I really couldn’t process what I was seeing.

        The whole weekend was strange. Being sent home from school after the assassination. Glued to the TV all weekend. I do have memories from a younger age but this is the most powerful.

        Wow. I have similar (but less violent) childhood memories of Watergate hearings.

        Remember reading about Watergate in the Herald Tribune on my European adventure after I graduated from uni. Also have shocking memories of Viet Nam war coverage. Who said they were the good old days?

        I know, although the Red Brigades seem almost quaint by modern terror standards

        Watching Oswald killed on live television is something I'll never forget. I had just turned 6. The days between the JFK assassination and the funeral are probably my earliest extended complex memory.

        Interesting thing about the Oswald murder was my mother predicted it moments before it happened. She said he could never be allowed to live and implicate others.

        The stupidity of moving Oswald with a crowd around is mind boggling

        This moment in history, which I witnessed, as a kid, on television with my Dad, still shocks me.

        I saw it. It was beyond shocking. We hardly had TV in those days and it was black and white. He just walked in and shot him. With people around him.

        Dallas PD did not secure the location of the transfer, he was walked through a gauntlet of reporters and Ruby was laying in wait. No one should’ve been allowed near Oswald, he had to live.

        I was 9. No school, we were playing in the basement and heard my older sister and mom screaming and yelling upstairs. Even at the age of 9 I remember being in front of the tv the whole time.
