I'll never forget that.. The East Coast got The Edge Of Night or whatever it was but us West Coast folk got "Pete and Gladys" forever impacted in our memories along with the death of the President. A very weird combination..

I was in school on that fateful day and we were dismissed for the day after the news broke. I was supposed to go to confirmation class for the Episcopal Church that afternoon, But Father Gracia cancelled that as well. It's funny that all people's memories of that day are imperishable. I remember it so clearly. When I got home I remember my Mother and our neighbor Carol O'Dea sitting in silence watching the events unfold on our set.
