Do you remember what you were doing the moment you found out JFK was assassinated?

56 years ago today...November 22, 1963. I was sitting in my first grade classroom waiting for the teacher to get back from being called to the office. She came back & said she had something to tell us. Afterwards we all sat and cried till the bell rang to go home.

3rd grade, catholic school. They didn't tell us anything but the nuns were all crying as they put us on the buses for an unscheduled early dismissal. I guess I found out at home. Side note, my mother had new furniture delivered that same day. It was the wrong fabric. When she called the store to have it replaced they refused because she had signed for it already. When she reminded them of when it was delivered, they took it back and delivered the right order.
