Do you remember what you where doing 50 years ago?

[Jon Skagfeld]

I was 22 years old, working at Litton Systems Limited (a Canadian subsidiary of the American defense contractor).

I was crossing from one building to another when a company driver, who had been listening to the truck's radio, stopped me and told me that JFK was shot. It was just about bang on 1230 hrs.

Being closely tied to the parent entity in LA, it felt a bit more "personal" to us.

There was not much work done for the rest of the day.
