Same age as griehund, senior in college, I was working in the pool room of the CCNY student center, my girlfriend (now my wife of 47 years) was visiting. A student came in and told us the news. Things all over campus pretty much ground to a halt. A few days (maybe a week) later there was a memorial concert in the student center auditorium, the only performer I remember was Phil Ochs, which pretty much makes sense as he was my favorite at the time. I also remember watching the Oswald killing live a few days after the assassination as I happened to be tuned into a news station.
Four or five years later I was at a scientific meeting in Dallas, which was only a few blocks from Dealey Plaza. I walked over there a few times, from what I could see a lot of the shrubbery had changed, and some street signs also compared to the Zapruder film and the sight lines looked different. I also remember the Texas Rangers on the beat with their Colt 1911s, the first police I had seen with semiautos, as compared to the usual .38/.357 revolvers.
