My Irish Catholic aunt had the same thing. It was a shrine, complete with a bust.

Yeah,I was in 6th grade on a Friday and on Sunday morning I saw Oswald shot-a whole lot for a 11 year old to take in.

I was in high school and a member of the staff came into the room and made the announcement. It was surreal. The world changed from that point on.

I was in 9th Grade. I don't remember exactly how the news was presented to us, but it stunned us all. Some cried, some just couldn't believe it and others just had a shocked look on their faces.

Everybody watched a lot of T.V. for the next 3 days. Yes, even saw Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald live. The world, as we knew it, definitely changed during those few days.

Look at the world we have now - WOW!!!!!!!!!!
