Yes. I understand that.
I was 12. Still hurts. Still.
Seeing my mother cry that day broke my heart. Listening to the drums for three days on tv, feeling the nation’s sadness.
I wish it never happened.
I was 13 and remember watching the TV as the drama played out over the three days.

Same here. Heard the announcement on the school PA system. "President Kennedy has been shot!" A few minutes later they announced he died, and we were all sent home. I sent $5 to the Kennedy Memorial fund (that was just about all the money I had!) Received a card in the mail from Jacquelin thanking for the support. The address on the envelope was typewritten. Still have it.
I was 13 and in class in Jr. High School when another teacher came in and brought the news. I remember very clearly everything after that for about a week. TV was inundated with coverage and news. Virtually all regular programming was pre-empted. I was pissed somewhat because one of the networks was going to show a movie called “Imitation General” [starring Glenn Ford] but didn’t because of the assassination coverage.
