9/11:   I was still in bed (MST) and my husband came 
up from our home office and told me to turn the station,
because a plane had hit the WTC.    I was bleary-eyed
and not focusing, and at the early stages, it seemed 
like an odd accident, so I fell back asleep.   A few
minutes later, hubby woke me up again and we watched
as the second plane hit.    Then the Pentagon.   Scariest
day of my life.   

JFK:    I was a high school junior, and as I walked out of the
noisy cafeteria with friends, we saw some girls crying in the
school hallway.     I had a transistor radio with me, so we
went early to our next class (gym) where there was good
reception, we learned what had happened.    Being young,
we figured it would all turn out OK.   After gym, in our
next class, the TV was on and we learned the President
had died.    School dismissed.    Three days of hell, even
seeing Jack Ruby kill Oswald "live" on TV.

Buddy Holly:    I was 11, and loved rock and roll (except
that horrid Elvis Presley, who I still detest).   Holly was one
of my favorites.    I cried.
