I remember where I was sitting when I heard JFK had been assassinated (1963). Working in my first permanent job, I put the visitor center flag at half-mast when JFK was assassinated... Grandma told me stories about that event. She did not watch the parade; when word got out that JFK was shot, everyone flocked to the TV. Jeanette Isabelle

This morning I was thinking about Stevie Ray Vaughan. Sometimes it is hard for me to wrap my mind around the idea that I remember hearing the news when Stevie Ray Vaughan died.
It had to have an impact to remember an event when I was four. Shortly after, Dad bought his last album: Family Style.
Jeanette Isabelle Easy - JFK's assassination. I wasn't quite 4 yrs old but I still recall the images of the funeral, of Mom crying and everyone glued to the TV. I had no idea who he was but I remember what a huge event it was. As a kid I had grown up on Walt Disney, Ed Sullivan, Roy Rogers and Vincent Price... (yeah, I was a weird kid) but the assassination took over everything for at least a week.

Death of Elvis, 1977, while loading dad's car for a day of fishing.
-Blast That day is probably the 2nd or 3rd really big news event that I remember. I heard it on the radio then told my mom and dad. My dad thought I was pulling a prank - but much to his dismay, he too heard the radio news about 15 minutes later.

Hearing news about the Korean War on the radio. We did not have a TV at that time.

Earliest (that I remember off the top of my head) that was a "Where were you when" moment happened was NASA. Challenger. High school. Magic performance on a school trip to another NYC school. Came out and heard on radio. Still have immense difficulty hearing, "Go a throttle up."
