Re: Anybody here, see my old friend John ?
Just found and read an incredible historical account of that weekend. It's called "America's Long Vigil", an article that appeared in TV Guide in January 1964. I read it and remembered seeing the whole thing as a 9 year old. Read it and remember.

Re: Anybody here, see my old friend John ?
I was 11 years old in the basement of Washington Elementary School in Lodi, NJ in a 5th grade trumpet lesson with Mr. Longo my instructor when our Principal Mr. Speziale stuck his head in to give us the news and release us to go home... The time past has done little to diminish the poignancy of that tragic day!

8th grade English class the principal came on over the PA and announced it. One of those life moments you never forget.

Very good way to put it Adger...For me, that day in 1963 and 9-11 are moments I will never forget. Unfortunately, I think we will see more in the horizon.....
