JerseyHarold Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was in fourth grade in Brooklyn on a class trip. When we got off the subway my teacher heard about it at the newsstand and started crying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a copy of the "Plattsburgh Press Republican" from Nov 23, 1963 telling all about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbuhagiar Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I remember it like it was yesterday. I was 4 years old, at home with my mom. I remember Mom getting a phone call from my Dad, who was at work. It was weird, cause Dad never called from work. I remember Mom hanging up the phone and breaking down in tears. I was scared that Gramma or Grampa had died, until Mom turned on the TV and explained what happened. I remember that for the next three days there was nothing else on TV. Just a few years ago I watched the video of Walter Cronkite on CBS getting choked up announcing the President's death. Brought a tear to my eye.

Ed Griffin Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 All I can remember is being in the 1st grade then. We did go visit the area in Dallas in the late 60's. The library used to have a red circle painted on the window back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Jordan Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I always remember my folks talking about where they were Dec 7 and I thought it was silly to remember one day like that. Now I find I am remembering one day. Sequoia High School, Redwood City, California. My junior year. I was in PE. The principal came over the intercom but no one paid any attention. When it finally sunk in I remember there was no sound except the basketballs that had been abandoned and were bouncing to a rest. They echoed in the quiet gym. They let school out. What a sad day. The end of Camelot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
