Sitting in a math class, as a Junior in HS. We heard the sound of high heals running toward us in the hall outside our classroom. The school secretary, her breathing heavy, poked her head in the door and made the announcement. In the next class, about an hour later, the news of JFK’s death was confirmed.
Ironically, pretty much the same situation. 10th grade, high school. Math class. Tucker, Georgia. Too young to fully understand the gravity of the tragedy. However, I think this was landmark in my growing up.
