"Assasination"
Jan and I turned on the TV on early one Saturday morning to watch cartoons. Instead of cartoons though, it was the news, an update on the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in California.
I yelled out and Shirley, who was in the kitchen, heard me. She asked what was going on and I told her that RFK had been shot. She commented that we must be mistaken as it was John F. Kennedy who had been shot. I responded, stating that it was not John but Bobby who had just been shot.
She then came into the living room to look at the TV herself. She let out a bit of a yelp when she saw that it was Bobby that had been killed and went back in the kitchen making a comment on how she just couldn’t believe that they had shot another Kennedy.
It was quite shocking to follow the information being presented on the assassination. One thing I knew for sure, that morning was a very important day, and that way more was up than what I could then know.
