I was a bit young (9, and in the UK) to have that 'where were you when it happened?' memory, but the day does still stand out.

An adult neighbour was visibly upset and asked what I thought about it, but I knew nothing, never mind having an opinion. I don't think my Mum even knew, as she went around to the neighbour when I asked, presumably to find out more. Our normal news source would have been the morning paper next day, there being no TV and almost no radio in our house.

In some ways it was to me the beginning of learning that life isn't all roses, I have the impression that I am not alone in that.
