I was at my desk in the dorms in my senior year at Univ. of Pennsylvania, big jock banged on the door, "turn your radio on". Turned it on and listened, hoping against all hope that the President was alive. Walter Cronkite said it finally. The campus melted as it mourned. The entire school waived mid terms and I believe all of our final exams were not even read by the profs. Went home for the TV coverage of the funeral. It was for the PENN community the end of an era.
