Subject: RE: BS: J.F.K., 44 Years Today
We heard rumors...but I went on to my college class that day.....until the professor - of American History!! - came in and said 3 words...."Yes, it's true." And we all ran for the TVs. I got there just in time to see/hear Walter Cronkite deliver the final word.

   I was actually delivering newspapers for extra money, and had 3 editions of that day's paper...one from before the shooting, one with just headlines, and one with basic stories. And everyone on my route who was home was out waiting for me. It was one interesting week for newspaper boys, finding extra copies for many customers.

I don't know who I'm angrier at, Oswald or Jack Ruby.
