Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 3738733, member: 504"] I was a UConn frisk sitting in the Student Union lounge just to the right of the entrance from Hillside. Don’t know if that space is testily a lounge. I was there because on Friday’s I had a few hours between classes. Two guys came through who I kinda of knew and said “The President was shot”. The first thing that I thought was “who would shoot Homer Babbidge” because the idea that anyone would shoot JFK wasn’t remotely on anyone’s mind. When reality dawned on me, I joined hundreds of students on the patio ;us that still there?) behind the Union where WHUS had put a speaker out of their window so we could hear updates because he hadn’t yet been pronounced dead. How unreal was it? I had to go to my class, a small discussion group, in the Business Ed building across the from the Union. I ran into a girl I knew. I asked her if she’d heard that Kennedy was shot. Her first reaction was “what’s the punchline”. She was shocked when I convinced her it was no joke. [/QUOTE]
