On the day that JFK was shot I was in sixth grade. I attended a Catholic
school and I can remember our teacher anouncing that something terrible
had happened, that the president was assassinated. Then we took a foew
minutes and said some prayers. We were supposed to have a Girl Scout
meeting after school but the leader was too upset to hold the meeting and
sent us home early.
I also remember that schools were closed on the day of Kennedy's
funeral. It was a beautifully sunny and crisp autumn day. My friend and
I walked down to a park that morning and the whole town ( about the
size of Newark) seemed so quiet. There wasn't much traffic or other
people out.
