LM_NET: Library Media Networking
I was teaching French in a private school - just half days - and had
brought my little boys home about noon. I was fixing their peanut butter
sandwiches in the kitchen and they were watching a children's TV program
around the corner. I could hear the interruption - and the chilling news
immediately.
I was numb as we all were for days. The children were too young to know
what happened - and its full import. We all watched the four days
following, as did the nation.
My boys are grown now - as is their little sister. I am a grandmother
now with grandchildren the ages of my children at the time of the assinasion.
Most memorable time, indeed. And their was more grief to come for the
nation and for the Kennedys and Kings.
