Living in Saugus, MA. I was in 7th grade, they made an announcement for everyone to return to our homerooms. The principle came on the overhead and announced the shooting.
The rumors were flying all over the map, it was the Russians, or the Mafia. What was really amazing to watch yesterday was all of the old video recordings of the news reports. Some of the on air news reporters or the people being interviewed were smoking on air.
I've been to the exhibit in Dallas, while you can't get to the actual window that Oswald shot from, because the actual window in inside a sealed off plexiglass exhibit, you can get to a window just a few feet away that is outside the sealed area. The shots weren't long range the car was almost directly under the window. Before seeing it in-person I always thought this guy Oswald must have gotten lucky.
