Like the moon landing, Pearl Harbor, Nine Eleven, and some other events that are etched in memory, the assassination of President John Kennedy brings back explicit flashbacks for most Americans who were alive at the time.
In my case, I was demonstrating a console TV to a customer in my store, when the screen went blank, and after a minute, the announcement was made that he had been shot. The rest of the day is frozen in my mind, dealing with the tragedy's affect on my employees, my customers, who were coming into the store without knowing what had happened, and my bride who was at home caring for the kids.

Somehow, it was a little different from other sad events. It was back in the days when highest wish for one's children, was that someday he could be the President of the United States.
Our world was put on hold for two weeks.
