Where were you when JFK was shot?

[Tam 3]

Rifle range at Mercer University in Macon, Ga. Traveled that afternoon through Columbus Ga. to Auburn, Al. for another match Sat. AM. First and only time that I actually saw a newspaper "EXTRA" for sale.

Wow, you had a TV in your classroom in '63? Way ahead of the times.

10th grade math class. Can't recall which one. Think we got out early, the only other time we did so was when the Pirates won the World Series in 1960.

JFK

On my way from the ADMIN. building to the Girls' School. Kept hearing about shots......and I did not want one. Found out what it was all about when I went upstairs to my History class of all things. Had just been to a pep rally......of course, the game was cancelled that night.

The man I am writing a book about was fired for lowering the flag to half staff at the building in Washington DC where he was running things while his boss was in Miami awaiting trial. His boss......James R. Hoffa! Keith

A SAD day for America.

In my 6th grade classroom. The teacher was also the principal and the janitor came in and told her. The rest of the afternoon we watch a little black and white TV turned to the news.

I was in 3rd grade. The school janitor called the teachers out into the hallway. They all came back looking shocked. They let us out of school early that day. The tv was on all day and we watched everything they reported.

5th Grade Classroom...

They tried to make the announcement over the school speaker system, it came out so garbled it was impossible to understand.

Our teacher called the office, and got the news. I turned to a classmate and told him this was "Khrushchev's first move". I though for sure the assassination was a prelude to nuclear war!!!!

Germany. Watched the procession on our grainy B&W TV on AFN Kaiserslautern. Sad day, I remember it even though I was only about five.

After 10PM at night when we were put on alert when the news came in. I was in bed in the barracks in the middle east and the horn went off.

I was driving my phone truck in Walnut Creek, Ca. with a transistor radio on the dash, news came on that JFK was shot along with the Governor of Texas. We stayed at work but went to church the next day.Think I was 32 then.

I was in Kindergarten that year. Came home at noon and saw that my mother had been crying. She told me the news. I remember it like yesterday.

I had graduated from high school in June and was still working at the job I held during my senior year, sacking groceries at a local store.
Customers coming to the store told us they had just heard about the
shooting on their car radios.
