Do you remember what you were doing 40 years ago today?  

I wasn't born yet, 40 years ago. That was about 4 years before I was born. I have seen alot about the Kennedy assassination on television programs though. I have two older sisters that may remember the assassination though. My mom would remember it also if I was to ask her about it. My dad passed away when I was 12 or I would ask him about it also.

Perhaps I was free for school,beacuse of the summer.
I have good memory,but not so many years back

Well I'm English and 40 years ago I was 4 years old.
So I don't remember anything about that day.
I suppose I was playing either in my bedroom or outside with a friend. I wouldn't have been at school as I was too young and playgroups, nursery or anything for pre school children hadn't been invented.

I did learn about it at school when I got older and have seen film clippings on the telly on his other anniveraries etc

hey I wasn't even born at that time... LOL

I wasnt born til 1981 so wasnt even thought of since parents were afew years before there teeen years and not even sure if they knew each other then!!!

I wasn't born then and probably not even thought of yet LOL

That was 10 years before I was born. Actually, none of my older siblings were born yet either. My parents were just out of high school.

I don't remember what time of day it was.. I don't know if I stayed out of school or it was on a weekend or what but I do remember seeing it on television. I was in 7th grade when his President Kennedy was killed and I was in art class.

I was in school, one week to go of 7th grade - they announced it to our class. It was a real shock, even at our age, because we had been old enough to know when President Kennedy was assassinated it was a bad thing. Martin Luther King had just been assassinated two months earlier and now Bobby Kennedy, just as we were approaching an age where we could take notice of political events. That combined with the escalating Vietnam War and the ending of the Civil Rights era as well as the influence of the Hippie/Peace/Flower Child ideals of the time made a huge dent in the way many of us thought. It was also put us on sharp notice that our "age of innocence was over".

40 years ago today I was less than 6 months old, so I was pooping and sleeping and probably not much else. I don't think I even knew that today was the the anniversary of his death.

I find all the tragedies of the Kennedy family to be very sad and rather erie sometimes.
