Reply #88: I was a freshman in high school.

Just before lunch break, this girl told me that she had heard rumors that the president had been shot, but she didn't believe it. I immediately felt a lump in my stomach?

I went down to the student lounge where the television was turned on and the room packed. Went to English class as usual, where we sat in silence listening to church bells toll. Then we were sent home early and were given the day off to watch the funeral.

Hard to believe that it's been 45 years.
