Re: [IRCA] Where were you on 22 November 1963?

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was a junior in college in Missouri.

As we heard the news on the car radio during lunch break, my buddies 
and I were crossing over railroad tracks that ran through the center 
of the small college town.  The view is still clear in my memory of 
that one short stretch of road.

I also recall sitting stunned during the first class that followed, 
wondering why others didn't seem to be so affected.  Of course it was 
probably just my own perception, but I was sure I couldn't have stood 
and lectured, my mind was so numb.  I even remember where I was 
sitting -- near the front, left side of the room, by the windows -- 
but have no idea what class it was.

Everything seemed to collapse into a very egocentric view for that 
brief moment in time.  As if the mind were trying to shut out the bad 
news, but too late.
