I was living in Riverside, Ontario, where my Dad had moved us from Detroit in search of bigger housing for our increasing numbers. I was in my first year of High School; don't recall what class was going on when the principal reported over the intercom that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas, Texas, and later announced that he had died. The atmosphere was primarily one of disbelief, understandable in a roomful of 14-year-olds. This was compounded for me on Sunday (November 24th) when I watched Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV in the basement of the Dallas PD.

Same situation, junior in High School. We were told over the announcing speaker. Was shocking to everyone.

While surfing through the letters in UHH, my eyes are on the TV set screen showing people who experienced the loss of their people who died in the wars. The show 60 Minutes, the segment "Rise". Those people included mothers, fathers, friends, and children who have suffered unbelievable losses who are facing the internal pains. Natalia said that the pain was almost impossible, but facing their fears of the surrounds made that pain not invincible.
I think that many people around the world experienced this kind of pain from the loss of person who meant something to them being shot dead. The loss of JFK.
It is a worth while piece to view and appreciate. It does give me hope that my relatives might come out stronger from their travail they are facing.

Hello,
I was also in science class in junior high. Must have been the time of day for science. I can remember hearing the news. My classroom was filled with
tall black topped science tables with sinks and test tubes.
I was in Fieldstone, New York.

I was in 9th grade in High School, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Because of the time change, we heard about it at 9:00am-ish. I was walking from Homeroom to History class when I heard. Our school called an assembly at 1:00 that afternoon but didn’t close the school (they were afraid, that it being Hawaii, everybody would just go to the beach :-) ). I think that wouldn’t have happened because we were all in disbelief, but all of us who were alive back then can pretty much recall exactly where we were when it happened, and most of us spent the next few days watching Walter Cronkite on TV

I was a sophomore in high school. I had come home early from school because of being sick and was sitting with my mother watching one of her soap operas and they broke in with the news. I stayed home from Church for the same reason and saw Ruby kill Oswald.

Not sure what class I was in, but I was in seventh grade and all of a sudden an announcement came over the PA system from our principal. Cosmo Homet. He told us to assemble in the auditorium for an important announcement. There he informed us that the president had died, and school would be cancelled for the remainder of the day. He said school busses would be summoned to take all of the students home. When I arrived at my house, my mother greeted me at the door and asked why I came home early. I told her the president had died and we immediately rushed to the TV to find out what happened.

Being a Navy Spook on high alert at a NSA communications intercept site in Turkey. We just knew the Russians would launch a full fledged attack soon. They had shot down Gary Francis Powers just a year or so before to cripple our early warning system.

I was at Lackland AFB IN basic training. That day I was on KP. Everything stopped when the sarge came in and announced what had happened. We all watched the proceedings on TV.
