PoD: August 1, 1966
University of Texas student and Corpus Christi native Farrah Fawcett(she went to the same high school as I did--W.B. Ray High School) is on her way to begin registering for the fall 1966 semester when a shot rings out and she falls to the ground, shot through the chest. She is pronounced dead at a local hospital, becoming one of 18 victims of Charles Whitman, the Texas Tower sniper.
Effects, anyone?
