Yep.. remember it all well.

I find it interesting that THIS year there has not been a lot of hype about it.

All month long I kept expecting to see advertisements about watching some documentary or new investigation on it but haven't seen a thing.

I haven't turned on the tv today so maybe something is on.... or maybe the media has finally let it drop - maybe due to lack of interest.

They haven't brought forth anything new to the public for some time now..that I know of.

People seem to be tied up in other interests now rather than historical incidents that shaped America.

I was in my HS history class when the announcement came over the intercom. My teacher was Dr. Maybell Chapman who I liked a lot. She was a rather frumpy old gal but got a lot of respect for her knowledge and down to earth ways. That was the first and last time I ever saw any of my teacher's weep. School was dismissed for the day..... Jim

You're right, nothing on the news feed when I looked this morning. I remember getting dismissed early from junior high that day. A day that changed this nation and probably wouldn't have happened but the weather cleared and the top came down in the Lincoln.

Course not. Today's democratic party doesn't want to remind people what decent democrats once were.

I was 18, working at a gas station a few blocks from our house, we stayed open for a couple of hours then closed up early, very sad time.
