I must have been a freshman in hs. I remember listening to it in a classroom in the basement of our high school. I don't remember the subject but remember the room clearly. Someone brought in a small transistor radio (they were new then) and we had to sit it on the window sill to get a good signal. The newscaster mentioned about Johnson having had a heart attack previously. A classmate misunderstood and thought Johnson had had it when he heard about JFK. Later after he was announced dead we met in the gymnasium and had a somewhat formal ceremony. I stood holding my girlfriend's hand. She wept. I was numb.

I have read a lot about the assassination. I have my doubts about the warren commission's report. I think it was probably a political whitewash and meant to reassure by saying that the assassin was certainly Oswald acting alone to make everybody feel safe. I suppose if that is true it is forgivable to some extent.

On the other hand if it were a conspiracy it is surprising nobody has ever come forward and claimed a part in it.
