I was in 1st grade, out on the playground during recess. They blew a loud siren, calling everyone in to class and then sent us all home.

As I've said John Kennedy was the last Democrat president I thought much of.

I was working, cleaning trays and utensils, in the kitchen of a parochial school.
Immediately after lunch, the nuns dragged all the students across the street, to the church - to pray for JFK's soul.

First grader as well. Our teacher, Mrs. Gray, came into the classroom bawling her eyes out and said, "The President has been shot." Class was dismissed. How can I remember the details so vividly after 57 years, when I can't remember what we had for dinner last Wednesday?

2nd grade. Principal came to the door and whispered to our teacher, Mrs. Barnhouse.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she told us the President had been shot.

Several people feared it was a Russian plot and a nuclear exchange was in the offing.

Tension was high

Basic training US Army, rained out on all drills.

I was in the upstairs of the barracks, a chubby soldier gave us the bad news.

The worst was Johnson, and his war.

I was in the second grade in the gymnasium where they took us once a day to run us all down. We were going out and a first grade class was coming in. One of the first graders that I knew told me.

Later, the principal of the little elementary school went around to all the classes and told us.

We were small children, but everybody knew that it was a major event.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a modern day Bernie Bro. No different than any other democrat voter of today or of that day.

I asked a friend my age where he was when he heard about the shooting. Said he remembers it well. Said he was sitting on a mail box waving at Jackie Kennedy. Said the car turned the corner and that was it. He was 8 at the time and was 1/2 block away from the shooting. He was interviewed several times by the FBI.

Really? I can't keep up with the levels of dumbfuckery around here. Oswald is no different than any other democrat voter? Has there been a rash of presidential assassinations that I'm not aware of? In what way was Oswald the same as any democrat voter?

This is even stupider than TreeMutt's thread.

Was in the 8th grade at Catholic elementary school. We got out early on Fridays because they had other stuff scheduled and needed classroom space. Walked out the main door and a classmate told us Kennedy had been shot. We didn't believe him until he had us go over to the corner drug store that had it all on the radio. I was 13 and never thought that stuff happened anymore. All those assassination things were stuff from the old days like Pres. Lincoln and Archduke Ferdinand and didn't really occur in modern day America. Just the naive thinking of a 13 yr. old.
