Today is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy. What were you doing when you heard the news?
Brandy K. McElroy: It was my daddys bday and he was sitting in history class i believe!
Helen Taylor Murray: I was out by the gas pump on the farm. I think my Dad told me. At the time I didn’t understand a lot of what that meant, just knew it was important and tragic.
Lauri Bundy Canarsky: I was in study hall when our principal, Mr Mc Cue came in the library & made the announcement. Most of us had Mr McCue in government class & knew his feelings about President Kennedy & thought he was making a joke. It took him a couple of min to convince us he was serious. I will never forget the look on his face when he told us.
Peggy Jensen: I was home sick from school, watching tv.
Joan Lindstrom Wolf: I was at school at Gleason School north of Oakland. The phone rang and Mrs. Martha Neis answered it. The phone hardly ever rang so I knew something was pretty important. She told all of us that the sad news.
Helen Taylor Murray: I asked my Mom and actually we were in school, Dist #52. My Dad came to school and told Mr Jungers. Not sure where the gas pump memory comes in. Maybe I didn’t understand and my Dad explained what happened later.
Teresa Tobin: Well since I wasn’t even a yr old! I’m sure I was just being a 10 mo old.
