I was in 3rd grade, standing in the hall outside the classroom, (I spent my fair share of time standing in the hall for class infractions, hoping the principal did not come by and strap me to the electric paddling machine that could paddle 1,000 times a second, that was the rumor), teachers came out of the teacher's lounge (which bellowed cigarette smoke) motioned for my teacher to come into the hall where they told her that to President had been shot. Moments later it was announced that the President had died. We were sent home early.
