Where were you...

When Reagan was shot?

The generation older than I remembers JFK, I was a year too late being born for that one. I remember when Hinckley shot Reagan. I was outside at the HS, we'd had track practice. I remember my friend, coming from softball, telling me and it really not seeming like a big deal (though yeah, she probably said he was probably going to be OK.) Of course this was in the day she could have only heard it on her car radio, or possibly if she had used the payphone and called home for some reason.

Anyway, here's a CNN slide show. Mostly I liked the second page, showing the newspaper publishing of the itinerary (they don't do that anymore.) And I liked the way they spelled Rebulicans.
