I was more devastated by MLK's murder frankly

I was in my 3rd grade classroom when we were notified and our teacher turned on the TV in our room, which was unusual, since we only turned it on for televised lessons. At home, days later, I remember watching the televised funeral with my mom, and how I noticed that Caroline and John Jr were younger than me, and feeling so sad for them.

I was only 5-years-old and I don't remember the day he was shot, but I do remember watching the funeral on TV and my mother crying. I was at NASA HQ in 1986 when the Challenger Space Shuttle accident occurred, and that day is burned in my memory.

I was four and was not really aware of this; the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr., and Bobby Kennedy disturbed me five years later. On a personal note,my sister Karen also perished that year,and the combination of these untimely deaths caused my eight year mind much disstress.?

I was in my 6th grade class room. It was announced on the school loudspeaker.

I was a little kid. Mad because the news coverage was on when i wanted to watch the three stooges!
