Thresher was lost, 220 miles due East of Cape Cod.
I was 8 and 1/2 years old at the time and in the 3rd Grade in a little place called Malta, Montana.
I remember the evening news coverage, vaguely. Uncle Walter on the CBS News from KOOK Channel 2 from Billings.
Details, I do not remember but it was Cronkite letting the world know that 129 men had lost their lives in the disaster.
