Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was early morning and I was still in bed. My husband came into the bedroom and woke me up and said, "There is something on TV you will want to see". I went into the TV room, and stared at the television. Finally, I said, "Is that New York??" I was uncomprehending. The pictures I was seeing were shocking. The first views I saw were taken from across the river, and it looked as if the entire island of Manhattan was on fire. My mouth hung open and my eyes were full of tears for hours...... In 1963 I was watching Pete & Gladys on TV, keeping an eye on my baby in her playpen, and making cookies in the kitchen, when they interrupted the sitcom and said President Kennedy had just been shot. I ran out of my apartment in shock and fear and told my neighbor, then rushed back..... In 1968 I watched Robert Kennedy give his victory speech in LA, then went to bed as he walked off-camera. In the morning, my husband's clock radio came on and I heard...what did I hear?...Why were they replaying President Kennedy's death? But no, it was Bobby Kennedy, another Kennedy, dead...... A few years ago I was reading in the living room, my husband was watching TV. He came into the living room and said, "There's something on TV you might want to see", and I went in, and there was the tunnel in Paris where Princess Diana had just been killed. The media brought all of this news. Because of the immediacy of the media, although I am from California, we are all of one town when these things happen. May God bless us all.
