Similar experience except it was Mr. Moerr's 10th grade geometry class when the principal came on the PA.

I was a captain and was taking part in an exercise in the operations room at the Cape Charles Air Force Station in Virginia. One of the guys who wrote backwards on the plexiglass and had a feed from Ft Lee, said "Hey, the president's been shot'. Nobody believed him until the official word came down a few minutes later. We immeditely did a 'fade out' on the exercise. We went to DEFCON 3 for a few days and I heard that SAC went to DEFCON 2. We all sat around TVs for a few days while everything unfolded.

I was in 5th or 6th grade & heard about it at school in rural Michigan. After school I walked the couple blocks down to the tavern where my dad & friends always were and they hadn't heard about it yet.

I was walking home from school, 4th grade. The mother of one of the girls who also walked told us. Everybody knows that kids are bad to repeat what they hear their parents say. Well, a few days before the shooting, my mom had talked about something Kennedy had said or done and was unhappy about it.

Well, when I was told the president had been shot, my response was, "Good!" Mrs Ray was shocked, to say the least. Of course, I was ashamed of myself for blurting that out.

My folks mourned like everyone else. My great aunt Irene's birthday was November 22 and she expressed the thought that her birthday would always be connected with that sad day.
