I was three years old and was sitting in front of the black and white tv watching it all day with my mom. Now I'm not sure if I actually remember this or if it is a 'suggested' memory from my mom...Probably just a suggested memory since my mom has told me so many times what everyone was doing that day.


>>For those of you who are old enough to remember this date it is one, which you will not soon forget. It is amazing how people can remember exactly where and what they were doing at this time.

>That would have been 0:30 the next day in Yugoslavia. I was second grade then, and walked to daycare first, had breakfast there, and then went off to school. My parents didn't turn the radio on in the morning, so we knew nothing. However, during that breakfast, several kids already heard what happened, and I remember even where I was sitting and who was sitting across from me. I also remember reading the daily papers in the afternoon. Not that I understood much - I did understand that JFK was thought of as a better president than the guys before him, and that he was described as a very popular president. But then, I didn't really know what USA was, and the most confusing thing was the Serbian abbreviation SAD, because "sad" means "now", and I didn't quite get it why was it capitalized :).
