I was in an engineering class at UCONN, fluid dynamics, listening to the prof drone on abut Reynolds number and fluid flow over a flat plate. It was about 15 min before the hour, 5 min of class left on a Friday afternoon. Sitting near the window looking out at the mall and steps of the Student Union I saw a quickly gathering crowd. Suddenly someone ran down the hall shouting “Kennedy has been shot”! The prof says “Sit down we have 5 min to go”. No way, we were out of there to join the crowd and listen to the radio being broadcast over the PA. Faces were frozen in silent disbelief. We just stood there not knowing what to do.

Then on Sunday morning I was at home with my parents in Torrington watching live TV from Dallas. They were bringing the killer out. A man lunged toward the killer and then chaos.
