Its amazing how many of us remember this event so well. Remember sitting in my office and people running in to tell me with tears running down their faces.

My God I am feeling ancient ... 50 years ago this Friday JFK was assassinated and I remember it well. Me too Charlie - I was 16 having just left school in May / June that year and started working for Donaldson & Filers just off Pollockshaws Road at nether Auldhouse Road, there was a works 'do' that night as an office Christmas party. I was a bit pissed and left the do around midnight. At the corner of Pollockshaws Road and Queens Drive, I bought a morning paper and couldnt believe the headlines about Kennedy's death. There were no buses at that time of night and I had to walk from there all the way back to Castlemilk - I am pretty sure I was fairly sober by the time I got in!

I remember the JFK assassination on the Friday night but I don't remember the screening of Doctor Who on the telly the very next night although I do remember watching it. In fact I am sure that such was the response to Doctor Who they repeated the first edition the following Saturday as well...I could never get into the science and space age stuff.
