What do you remember about Friday 22 November 1963

[KitFox]

14. I remember like it was yesterday.

I was a freshman in high school in Algebra class. The principal came over the loudspeaker and broke the news. My teacher was writing on the board and he froze and dropped the chalk which shattered on the floor. They set up the tv in the cafeteria and the whole school watched until we were dismissed shortly after. Everyone was either crying or in a state of shock. When we were getting ready for church Sunday morning we had the tv on and saw Jack Ruby shoot Oswald. I remember bursting into tears watching Jackie standing next to Johnson on the plane when he was sworn in and during the funeral when they had the riderless horse and Jackie leaned down and had John John salute when the coffin passed by.
