7. It was one of those moments for me.

I got off work or school clinical, got into my little bitty rental with the very old bright orange shag carpet with my pink couch and green leather chair (I know it was horrid!) fed the cat and the dog and walked over to my huge TV with the tiny screen and turned it on. Grabbed the wrench to turn the channel (broken dial) to CBS and heard someone (I want to think it was Rather) talking about it. It was the day before my 27th birthday. I am still just stunned whenever I think of that man being killed in any manner but hollow points? I always hope he was unable to feel what that did to his body.

10. I was stationed in San Diego, when I heard the news

If I close my eyes, I can still watch the whole scene play out, before me. A friend called. She was in complete shock. I told her she must have misunderstood. Maybe Jack Lemon had died. That was the only thing that made sense, to me.
