I was a high school sophomore in French 2 when a senior came into the classroom and whispered something to the teacher. Seniors in study hall had been pulled out to deliver the message to the teachers. Our French teacher was an eccentric woman. Normally I enjoy eccentric people, but this one was rude to students who struggled to learn French. Luckily, I was at least adequate in the subject so did not incur her wrath, but I disliked how she treated others. After the senior whispered to her, the teacher pulled a face and said, loud enough for all of us to hear, "In the head?" The senior nodded. Later the principal came on the intercom and told us what had happened and that we should all go to our lockers, get our things, and go home. A few students had cars. Some others took the city's public buses. Most of us walked. I remember feeling like I was in a fog for the entire walk home.

As a teacher, I was on the other side of the desk when the Challenger shuttle exploded and when the World Trade Center was destroyed.

I was in first year at college (in Canada) when the news came. They played the radio news over the P.A. system. Classes were cancelled for the remainder of the day. We all went home.

Being sent home seems to be a common response to the event. I wonder why? Was there some directive that those in charge were following? Was there a fear that something worse was about to happen?

You know what! I don't give a fuck what you folks surmise and this and that about what happened. A good man went down and I look to my right just above my shoulder and see the man on my plate that has meant everything to me since it happened.

Carlos Marcello was not deported. There was a reporter that spent time with him while he was in jail and admitted to the assassination.

It seems like a mob hit. They had to show how much power they had.

There are many folks who were not alive when this happened. I suspect in twenty years or so, the anniversary will be seen much like the assassination of other historic figures in the world. No one will be there to post their personal memories of when they heard it in the media.

The private school we went to let out early on Fridays. The carpool mom of the day, pulled up and said to her daughter "Guess what?" The daughter said, "What?" her mother said, "The president's been shot!'

I thought it was some kind of family in joke.

I was mistaken. I was 8, when this was going on. My sister turned 7 on the day of his funeral.

This page says J.Edgar Hoover send Bobby and Jack Kennedy a constant stream of derogatory information about Martin Luther King, Jr., in an attempt to turn the Kennedys against King. We've all heard the stories about King and his marital infidelity and other issues - is it possible that these are all lies from J.Edgar Hoover?

There is plenty of evidence that J.E. Hoover was a cross dressing, paranoid coward, and a glory seeker.Any agent that stood out got dumped.

Ironically the rock and pop scene was getting underway with a new freedom of thought and expression so it surprises me that as he was a bit of an icon more wasn't done to protect him. Standing and waving in an open top car wasn't the brightest thing to let him do. Perhaps the whole thing was set up from someone inside, which might explain how Oswald could be the lone killer if he indeed was the one.

I don't think Oswald was the killer. It was a pro job.

He may not have really been a "pro", but he did a lot of work for Lyndon Johnson:

I was going to a private girl's school with an alma mater that began, "In thy pillared portals" So the main entrance had to have pillars. I was outside those pillars. It was a Friday afternoon, and school let out early. Tghe carpool mother for the day pulled up. I don't remember who she was, but I'll always remember that she got out of the car and asked her daughter, "Guess what?" The daughter answered "What?" The mother said, "The president's been shot". I thought she was joking.   All the way home we told each other that he was young and strong and he'd get better.
Mother told us what last rites were.
My sister's birthday is November 25. She often got it off from school, because of Thanksgiving. But never before or since on a Monday. Grandma and Grandaddy came early that day, so we could watch the funeral together. Odd to think, Grandma could remember McKinley's funeral, and Harding's, and Roosevelt's. (Note: McKinley was killed by an anarchist named Leon Cszogloz. Harding and Roosevelt died of natural causes.) Cszogloz, whose name I probably misspelled, acted alone, as did Charles Guiteau who shot James Garfield. I expect Oswald worked alone.
