Our 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Grady, was called to the office. When she returned, she was in tears. This was shocking to me, since she was always cheery and positive. She could barely speak when she sobbed that the President had been assassinated. There were photos of three presidents that were displayed on her bulletin board at the front of the class: Washington, Lincoln and Kennedy...

Its the only good memory I have of my father. I was 3 1/2 and my dad and I were going to the corner store. The flag at the school was half-mast and I said someone forgot to put it all the way up. He said that it was like that because someone killed the president.

I know I had no idea what that meant, but I remember it because he was so somber. Or maybe it was because he wasn't drunk. I dunno but that is a vivid memory.

I had just turned 4. Remember my mom crying the day of. Remember being mildly put out because Cartoon Carnival wasn't on the day of the funeral.

I was in grade school and remember the announcement. All the teachers were crying and we were all sent home from school early.

It's odd looking back and reflecting on how things have changed and where we are now as a Nation. I can't imagine teachers crying or schools being shut down for any President (maybe Reagan) since that time. Seems we had more respect and regard for the POTUS back then. Of course, the media tends to take all the fun out of everything and drive their latest pet project into the dirt.

The times, they are a changin'.....

I was a young up and coming exec with a private secretary and staff of about 20 for an international brokerage on K Street when Reagan was attacked a few blocks away. I could hear the sirens.

I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was in first grade in Lexington,Kentucky....., doing one of those reading card assignments where you check your own answers...it
Was a popular reading leaning system used nation wide ???forget the name of it???...i was checking my answers and the news came over the innercom speaker. Everybody was crying, they closed the school and my mom came and got me. My dad was away on a business trip.

I actually saw JFK in philly when i was really young /3 or 4???and he was campaigning for president....we went to the shopping center on Rt. 1 ? In Langhorne,PA and stood in the crowd. He walked within mere feet of me and my mom...she might of shook his hand?? He then went to the roof of the Korvetz store and gave a speech. One of my earliest memories...

I was sitting in English class waiting for the class to begin wondering why all the girls in the hall were crying.

Drafter was usually late, but he didn't show up at all that day.

Years later, while in college, I saw what was supposed to be an unedited version of the Zapruder film. Warren Commission - “Lone gunman”? I don’t think so. My disbelief of the government began that night.
