And, FWIW, it occurred on a Friday. (I was a TA and had just finished my 2-hr methods lab, which met only on Fridays from 1130-130, when I learned of the assassination.) DKH

I also suspect that given the assassination was during the week, a football game is also unlikely. I haven't heard of this example before Gary J. Klatsky, Ph. D.

Can anyone supply the correct details and source?: A classic illustration of "flashbulb memories" is "Where were you when you heard that John F. Kennedy was assassinated?" A classic illustration of of a *false* "flashbulb memory" was "I was at (or listening to a radio broadcast of) a Brooklyn Dodgers game at Ebbets Field." (The Dodgers had moved to Los Angeles in 1957.) But then someone pointed out that the Brooklyn Dodgers *were* still playing in Ebbets Field in 1963--the *football* Dodgers. --Charles Charles S.
