I really couldn't tell you where I was when MLK was shot. I remember seeing it the next day on TV but I really didn't know who he was yet.

I'm really not sure about Bobby either. I know I cried then too but don't remember the details. Long time ago.
I learned about RFK the next day. Somehow, I asked my dad who the assasin was. In my mind, the name Sirhan Sirhan came up, and my dad confirmed it. I just wondered why I guessed that name. It was too easy. My dad was in the newspaper business.
