Default Re: O.T. Where were you 50 years ago today? 11/22/63.

I was at work near Boston on the drafting board drawing up parts for a voiceprint analyzer for the CIA. All work came to a halt and we left early for home heartbroken after getting the news right after lunch. I drove the 60 miles home by myself with the radio on to hear the news and the speed on the pike was noticeably down from 70 plus to around 45mph with some people stopped by the side of the road I presume to hear the latest news. I remember I was driving a 62 Ford Galaxie XL convertible which I thought was pretty sharp but it lost it's luster that day. The country hasn't been the same since and now when I see a 62 Galaxie at a show it jogs my memory.
