OT: How'd You Learn Of These Deaths?
Jack
Everything else here is OT anyway, so what the hell ...
9/11: There's a path on my property that I used for jogging, naked in
warm weather, except for running shoes, baseball cap, and radio ear
phones. Anyway, the tragic news interrupted the program and I ran
back to the house and told the old lady to turn on the tube.
JFK: I was cruising in a '58 Impala on Pulaski Hwy. when the news of
the shooting interrupted Johnny Tillotson's "Talk Back Trembling
Lips." Death had not yet been confirmed. Man, I had to tell someone
so I stopped in this redneck dive in White Marsh. There were no
patrons just an old hag behind the bar. She just stared without
responding. "Aw ya old fart, if you don't believe me, turn on ya
radio, if ya have one." Whereupon I left.
Buddy Holly: I was in 9th grade and moms told me when I returned home
from school.

light). As the first special news report flashed on the tv, which was always
on, it reached down into my sleep amd jolted me awake.
Tammie, the lady who was instrumental in my getting this (now) very old
service animal, called on the phone. As we talked and watched the news the
second plane hit a tower. I told Tammie "when you see these things look
upward and be not afraid. Rather be cheerful, for our redemption is nigh"
JFK: 1964? I was three years old. Don't remember what I was doing, but if
history serves I was driving some adult into psychosis.
as for Buddy, the big Bopper and the others.......

Cool OT pick!
JFK: 3 years old. Recall watching funeral on TV with Mom and all the
drapes pulled, lights off.
9/11: Was taking wife to first chemo treatment. Stopped for a coke
and someone in the parking lot at the Kitty Hawk Walmart told us a
plane hit the WTC. An hour later at the oncology clinic we watched the
second one crash and the towers come down. As soon as we knew it was
ragheads, I figured that if we didn't start nuking the bastards we
were doomed to eternal war. Which is what they want.... OBTW, wife
died anyway....
Buddy Holly: Heard about it 20 years later!

HAHA!!! I have a clear memory of being roughly 1-1/2 or two at the
most and being potty-trained by my Mom. I reached down while pooping,
grabbed a handful and smeared it on the wall. I do not recall her
response..... I have since seen the error of my ways.
