we had no school that day because of parent conferences. I had gone on a girl scout camping trip and when the bus arrived at the campground, one of the girls noticed that the flag was flying at half staff and asked the campground manager the reason why. He explained that Pres. Kennedy had been assassinated. The camping trip continued and I don't recall anyone visibly upset by the news. Perhaps because we were away from television, we didn't get the full impact. Also, the group I was with were from a very repuke area, and the adults as well as the kids seemed pretty unaffected. I remember it all very clearly.
