Assassination of John F. Kennedy
Lorna Huckabone: “My immediate reaction was disbelief. I cried.”

I was nine years old at the time of the JFK assassination. I was ill that day, and I was at home, rather than in school, watching television from the couch in my parental home. I recall that the television program was interrupted with the announcement that JFK had been shot, in Dallas, Texas. The next announcement I heard not long after the first, was delivered the same way as the first one. This time, the announcer, who may have been Walter Cronkite, said that President Kennedy had died as the result of a fatal gunshot wound. My immediate reaction was disbelief. I cried. I thought there much be some mistake. I told no one.
