Attached is a photo I took in May, 1966 when the JFK grave was marked simply with the flame, pine branches and military hats.

........................75 feet from the service elevator, in the basement 
of the Akron Public Library, to the Film Services Department to check if Mr 
Ronald Sharp (the manager of Film Services) had any outgoing mail. Mr. 
Sharp always had his office radio on and his only word to me were, "he was 
shot in Dallas". I said, "What, what did you say?" Mr. Sharp said, "Kennedy 
was shot dead." That's where I was and how I learned the news. This was 
nothing compared with the rest of that day and the days, months, years and 
decades to follow as the politics, social agenda, war & peace, and history 
in general of the United States took a different path and changed forever. 

Where were you?
