Wow, you were out early. I remember leaving class and a small group gathered at the front of the auditorium.

Someone plugged in a small radio. We sat stunned, listening and hoping, then silently dispersing. 

I ended up on Woodward Avenue in front of Winkleman's transfixed on all the pedestrians. I don't remember 

the ride home…just wanted to see my Mom. I can still see and hear Walter Kronkite in his black rimmed glasses

making the dreaded announcement.  One of many defining moments for us.
