Elvis died at Graceland, not at your gp’s house.

Maybe it was a different Elvis dying that you remember?

MLK assassination for me.

He was not shot at any of my relations’ houses.

Elvis dying. I still have the image of the hospital on the TV in my mind, and the reporters outside.

Sputnik, the Russian satellite passed over the USA in 1958. It killed a poor dog who was aboard. I was 6 years old and went outside to try to see it in the night sky.
Only 3 channels back then
