I was not born yet in 1963. Hell, my parents hadn't even started dating yet!

I do remember distinctly the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. A bunch of 'liberal' kids in my class actually applauded when we got word that it had happened. My teacher at the time really read them the riot act and recounted his experience when Kennedy was shot. He told us how everyone was crying and upset and how they canceled classes that day. It was surreal. I'm pretty sure that was 8th grade, if I am remembering correctly.
