1360472 2013-11-21 18:00:00 I was at work at Firmans Kennedy Road Service Station at Marewa, Napier.

Hell of a shock at the time. I remember thinking "Why" :confused:

1360475 2013-11-21 18:51:00 I was a kid at home in the Buller. I remember someone yelling out that president Kennedy had been shot. We all wondered how or why this sort of thing can happen. I do remember that I enjoyed listening to his speeches. He was a clear eloquent speaker. Bobh (5192)

Couldn't quite believe it. later that day our family went to see the movie How The west Was Won at the Auckland Cinerama theater and when we can out the Auckland Star newspaper bill boards were full of it. paulw (1826)
1360479 2013-11-21 19:46:00 I was 4 years old, out in the market garden 'helping' Dad and Grandad.
Mum called out in tears from our back door, I remember how solemn everything suddenly got.
But I didn't fully understand why at the time.

1360480 2013-11-21 19:47:00 I was in my room getting ready for school, my father told me it was on the radio and when I heard it, I was very upset and cried. (16 year old girls cry at the drop of a hat, well they seemed to in those days.)
