I remember walking along Water Street and seeing news that Kennedy had been shot in the newspaper headlines. It sounded like a joke at first as if people were talking about his brother JFK's assassination five years prior, not Bobby Kennedy.

I was in the Empress pub in High Park St leaning against the bar when a newsflash came on the TV. Everyone in the pub was glued to the TV and people walking over to the bar to see better. The engineer I was with said let's go. I said I think Kennedy has been shot let's see what happened. He was totally disinterested and wanted to go. This fella was so anal and self centred it was beyond belief.
