Bob Miller Prowler Junkie Posts: 4576 From: Alexandria, Virginian USA Registered: OCT 2003	posted 11-22-2005 01:23 PM I was a freshman in high school and I was at lunch. Another student stopped me in the hall and told me what had happened. Then we were all told to go to the study hall where the principal gave what details he had. The following weekend I was frying myself an egg and watching as Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby. It was surreal to see it all unfold on national TV. I recall being pretty sad and upset about the events, but at the same time I was reassured by the peaceful transition of power to LBJ.

halicat unregistered Posts: 13833 From: San Antonio, Texas Registered: JUN 2001	posted 11-22-2005 01:45 PM I was in grade 4 in Detroit... there was a knock at the classroom door, The teacher went into the hall for a couple minutes came back in crying and told everyone to go home, "The President has been shot " on a normal day kids would be running home yelling, playing, making a hell of a racket..... on this day nobody made a sound ... just walked home in silence.... I remember it like yesterday ...
xpguy Prowler Junkie Posts: 1108 From: Carlsbad, CA Registered: MAR 2004	posted 11-22-2005 02:29 PM I was only 2. I do not remember the day it happened, but some of my earliest memories are of people talking about JFK and LBJ. I remember we had those colored magnet letters and my mom putting those two "words" on the fridge and me trying to pronounce them.

SirReal Prowler Junkie Posts: 3332 From: Burtonsville,Md Good ole U.S.A Registered: MAR 2003	posted 11-22-2005 04:29 PM I was in Mrs. Powells 5th grade class. I remember it came over the PA system and the following deafening silence. It was strange to see teachers crying. Sad day.
Dave Mills Prowler Junkie Posts: 5419 From: Johnstown, PA, USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 11-22-2005 04:34 PM I was in 8th grade and we were having band practice. We couldn't hear the PA system because of the music. School was dismissed early and they left us there not realizing that we didn't hear the announcement.
DIXIE Cat Prowler Junkie Posts: 435 From: FLORIDA, USA Registered: MAR 2011	posted 11-22-2005 06:01 PM 5th grade Catholic school. They made the announcement over the PA & everyone cried.

agstoner Prowler Junkie Posts: 435 From: Richmond, Virginia Registered: JUN 2004	posted 11-22-2005 10:54 PM I was home from college recovering from surgery. I was working in a toy store for the upcoming Christmas season. I remember it like it was yesterday. profoundly sad. I also watched Lee Harvard shot by Ruby. And John John saluting his father, images that last a lifetime.
ed monahan Prowler Junkie Posts: 33595 From: Cincinnati, OH Registered: JUL 2000	posted 11-22-2005 11:25 PM I was working at Lunkenheimer's, the one GREAT name in valves. (they have been closed for years). I remember it vividly but they did not send us home from work. I have since visited the Texas Book store. The grassy knoll is tiny compared to what I had pictured in my mind. It is a triangle and is proably only 10' wide at the widest end and 30 or 40 feet long, coming to a point. I was always fascinated by the assassination. I don't think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I think someone was behind it all. I have no idea who.

Randy Cobb Prowler Junkie Posts: 4070 From: Greensboro, NC Registered: JUL 2002	posted 11-23-2005 06:33 AM I was at school in the 4th grade. A friend and I were outside dusting erasers on a stump (a honor to get selected for this chore). We came back to class and the class was silent listening to a radio broadcast about the assination. Our teacher was crying. We were sent home early.

Today is also the day that my younger brother passed away 7 years ago.....at the age of 37. Kind of makes for a rough Thanksgiving.
Kruisin Kat Prowler Junkie Posts: 578 From: Rochester, NH, USA Registered: JUN 2005	posted 11-24-2005 03:23 AM I was only 1 when it happened. I learned of it in grade school history class and remember asking my mom about it. She welled up with tears just talking to me about it.
