I remember it all too well. I was in 5th grade. At a little after 1pm the principal came on the pa system and gave us the news. That was the quietest ride home on the bus I've ever experienced. Very sad!

Very similar experience. Myself third grade. I recall when the principal announced it over the PA and mentioning Dallas, Texas I imagined him being shot in an old west six gun shootout.

I was eight years old and watched a lot of Saturday afternoon westerns.
