I was a student at Nuclear Power School in Mare Island, CA. We received the news during our lunch hour and shortly there after, we were sent home. The next day, the Mare Island Shipyard was launching an SSBN (my memory says Stonewall Jackson). The ceremony was somber and all programs were outlined in black. I missed the live telecast of Ruby shooting Oswald because I was at Mass when it occurred.
