Hello, I was in 7th gradein Houston, Texas at the time of Kennedy's death. We had heard the rumors around lunch time. I remeber I was in Math class when the principal announced the tragedy over the speaker. I can still see the math book I was holding in my hand. It was softbound with a dark blue cover and I can visualize the PA speaker to my left in the front of the room. I recall one student Anita saying she had hoped it was true because she hated Kennedy. I also remember feeling some guilt because we were Nixon people and I had roamed the playground in 5th grade chanting Nixon, Nixon, he's our man. Let's put Kennedy in the garbage can. The following days seemed like weeks with the funeral and TV coverage. Interesting Idea for using the NEt! Cathy Roach croach@tenet.edu
