I worked at a department store in Decatur and was on my break at a place in the shopping center. When I went back into the department store, I saw people crying and couldn't understand why. When I heard it was because Kennedy had been shot and killed ... I had to sit down. I couldn't believe it. I can't remember crying just then, but I know I was close. At the time, I loved Kennedy's speeches but hadn't been a big fan of his policies. Still, like Big Bear, I couldn't believe anyone would kill him.
