122. In 8th grade at Sacred Heart school in Houston
It was our custom to pray the rosary after lunch. One of the Sisters came in and told us that the president had been shot. Shortly after we learned he had died. The whole school ended up in the church. I will never forget the sound of children crying. One of the boys turned on the tollers (electric bell ringer). The sound of slow tolling bells from the downtown churches was so sad. Nothing has ever been the same since.
I wonder what it was like in Dallas- I'm sure there were some who rejoiced.
