That Monday I was in the federal bldg in downtown Fort Worth waiting to be called for jury duty. A lady came in around 9 & asked if we'd heard about a plant flying into a bldg. Of course we had no way of hearing. Anyway when I was released around 2 pm, listened on car radio & was glued to tv at home. Next am (Tues) I had to drive downtown again & noticed all the parking meters were covered up. When I got into bldg, we were sitting in judge's chambers, heard loud speaker ask everyone to calmly & orderly leave the bldg by stairs. We were 3 flights up & going down U could feel the bldg shake. We then stood outside across street from bldg for 30 min. or so, then were asked to move further south down the street. I remember looking north of the street & seeing an officer with a dog going across street toward fed bldg. Later other threats to other fed bldgs had to be check out too. Later went back in & the trial had been settled. So I clearly remember that day!!
I was also in downtown Dallas, only few blocks away when JFK was shot.
