The fact that it has been 44 years seems unfathomable! My dad saw that football game and heard the announcement from Howard Cosell. I was 26 years old and was preparing some paperwork for my job the next day. My dad came to my room and told me the news. I remember how shocked I was. I dropped my ink pen and called a friend of mine. My phone hardly stopped ringing that night. A friend of mine came over to visit me late that night and went home after midnight. God, what a horrible night that was!
