and we were working on English when the principle came over the loud speaker and, quite clearly crying, said "President Kennedy is dead. He was assassinated."

I remember my teacher just went white and flopped into her chair while my class and I just sat staring at each other. We had recently finished our history unit on the Civil War and we had been to the history museum in Buffalo and where we learned about William McKinley. We were old enough to know what "assassinated" meant.
