Came inside from recess, and everyone was huddled in little groups, talking and crying. One of my friends told me "the President's been shot." I don't remember most of the rest of the day, but I'll not forget the shock of hearing that for the first time. Best, George

I was watching "Divorce Court" on TV (working nights) when they cut in and announced it. Then the rest of the day was a blur. No one believed it had happened and everyone was crying.

The days that followed were glued to the TV (black and white TV at that). The only thing that really stands out from those days (I think we were all in shock) was John Jr. standing at attention and saluting the casket.

45 Years -- seems like yesterday -- it's still that vivid.

The gallery manager made the announcement and after the silence of utter shock, everyone started crying. We closed early and sat glued to the TV through the evening.
