9/11 - I was between jobs and got up (ironically, I vividly remember
my alarm clock read 9:11 AM when I awoke) and got online to check on a
bunch of resumes I had sent out and was waiting for a response on.
When my AOL screen came up they showed the WTC on fire and I ran to
the TV and stayed glued to it for about four days.

JFK - It was about three months before I was born.

Buddy Holly - Before I was born.

Elvis - I didn't find out about the death of Elvis until about a week
after he died.  We were on vacation at a lake house in the middle of
the Allegheny forest without TV or radio or news or contact with
others for about 8-9 days.  The car radio did not work either.  It
wasn't until after we got back home and turned on the TV that we found
out about Elvis.  I think he died on a Tuesday early morning and it
was the following Monday I found out about it.  I remember the next
day going thru the newspapers that had accumulated on the front porch
during the week we were gone to see what else I missed and was more
upset that Groucho Marx had passed away a couple days after Elvis than
I was with Elvis dying.
