From the images of RFK laying on the floor to screaming and crying by grown men in suits and that strange phrase "Is there a doctor in the house," I was left terrified. I had trouble sleeping for days and when I did drift off imaged from the tv coverage would play thru my head. I got so generally scared that I started refusing to walk our dog in the evening, prompting my parents to give the dog away. For me at least, exposure to this coverage, with no effort by my parents to explain things, left me very frightened at the time.moonlitknight1https://www.blogger.com/profile/13365172277739159804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-92070475713124321132015-05-06T18:06:03.775-04:002015-05-06T18:06:03.775-04:00My, but it's a bit dusty in my office this aft...My, but it's a bit dusty in my office this afternoon. I feel so bad for Daniel. Thanks for finding and posting this. <br /><br />(You and I are almost precisely the same age. I remember coming out for breakfast on the morning after RFK was shot and hearing about it on the news, but I have no memory of the funeral train or anything else about it. It was the first week after school got out--conceivably the day after--and my mind was elsewhere.)jabartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12856624710742851189noreply@blogger.com
