DBWI: Anniversary of a Slaughter

As you know, 34 years ago today*, Charles Manson follower Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme shot and killed President Ford. She was hardly able to pull the shots, but it took only a few seconds for the President to fall, dead. She was killed in the struggle with the SS, and that day, then Vice President Rcokefeller took the oath of office to become the 39th President of the United States. I, ofcourse, was not alive at the time of the assassination, but what are your memories from that dark day in American History?



* Yes, I know it was today, but just run with it.

OOC: Fords Vice-President was Nelson Rockefeller, not Bob Dole. Dole was Ford's candidate for VP in '76, as a peace offering to reagan supporters at the convention (not to mention Rockefeller's own health problems).

OOC: Ohhh yeah... Oops, I felt like I was wrong on that, but I couldn't remember the name. Fix'd.
