Re: 22 November, 1963
In 6th grade in a little tiny town west of Amarillo on Route 66/I-40. We were outside for recess when a local farmer drove up in his pickup truck and told the Principal that JFK had been shot. Someone brought in a B&W TV set with rabbit ears, and we all went to the auditorium to watch the news. Once it was verified that he was dead, there was lots of crying in the auditorium A friend of mine in the 5th grade and I both were in Boy Scouts, and we raised and lowered the flag every day. So the Principal sent us out to lower the flag to half staff.
