Remember it well ... BOTH those days are days permanently implanted in my memory banks. I was at school, in the 6th grade, and they were experimenting with "Educational TV" in the classrooms. The teacher had just turned the TV on for a "Conversational Spanish" lesson when they interrupted the program with the news Kennedy had been shot. I remember half the girls in the classroom started crying (us "men" were way too macho).

I'd have to look it up because I don't remember persactly, but I assume Ruby shot Oswald in the evening or on a weekend. The reason I say that is, my dad (who would've been working during the week) and I were sitting side by side on the sofa watching the news coverage (LIVE) when Oswald was shot. I still remember looking at my dad all wide-eyed like, "Did I REALLY just see that?" The odd thing is, he had the same look on HIS face! We were the only two in a house of 8 people who happened to be watching that live coverage at the time.

Edit: Yep, just Googled the day Ruby shot Oswald: (that explains it, Dad was usually building race motors on Saturdays)

November 24, 1963 .... the day of the week is Sunday.
