[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3766031, member: 7900"] I can't say that I recall any early news stories, but I did live through something of a major event. Cimarron County in the Oklahoma Panhandle was the epicenter of the Dust Bowl's "Dirty Thirties." I can remember driving around in the folks' old pickup and having dust fall from the headliner, not from the "Dirty Thirties" but from the then current "Gritty Fifties" when more dust storms occurred up there. I'll be 76 next month, and thus I recall a lot of what everyone is mentioning here. I was a Junior in high school when Kennedy was killed. We had performed our Junior play in the high school auditorium and at the end, the superintendent went before the audience and announced Kennedy's assassination. That was in 1963. Five years later, I would marry the woman of my life, and we STILL enjoy life together. [/QUOTE]
