    Today is November 22nd. What is the most famous event that happened on this day?

    You wouldn't know it if you listened to one of the two news radio stations in New York City today. J.F.K. was assassinated in 1963. Pretty sad, isn't it?

    Very sad,still!

    Yes,and it was a Friday, I was young but I remember it very well.

    I thought of it once I heard the date today.  But to be honest, I didn’t remember if it was the 22nd or 23rd….. I know I was very young but I cried and cried. My first experience with death.

    My mom hadn't met my dad until 1965 so I wasn't even a concept in 1963.

    More 'infamous' than famous.  


    Sad day, I lived through it. Democrats/Republicans/Independents, all people, all colors, all faiths came together.

    Sixth grade morning recess....saw all the teachers (all 8 of them) running to the 5th grade room (where there was a TV).  We jokingly said, "Maybe Mr. Johnson killed someone."  (Mr. Johnson was the name of the 5th grade teacher.  When we went back to class, our teacher told us President Kennedy had been shot, but there was a spark of hope.  Not much later, she said the spark had died.  I always thought it "coincidence" that "Mr. Johnson" was sworn in as president, and felt he might have been in on the assassination.  I doubt it now, mostly.

    Was in school when the news was given over the PA system.
