The Lone Ranger on the radio. Double feature Saturday afternoon matinees at the movie theater (usually one each Roy Rogers and Gene Autry) Going with my third-grade class and teacher to a classmate's home (they were the ones with a TV) to see the Eisenhower inaugural. Waiting to see if the USSR would back down or we would have WWIII (Cuba blockade) Sitting in the college library working on a paper when a friend came in with the Kennedy news.
