50 years ago today I had just put my year-old son down for a nap, so I had the radio turned down very low. With the radio in the kitchen and me in the living room, I couldn't really hear what was being said. But I suddenly became aware that the "tone" of the voices had changed. I knew something had happened. I turned up the volume and learned the president had been shot. I was glued to the radio for the next few hours -- with tears running down my face. Later, I had to go to the store for a few groceries. I remember looking at people's faces and wondering "Don't you know what happened?" because people seemed to just be going about business as usual. I felt numb.
