On 11-22-63 The lunchtime recess bell rang earlier than usual for us second graders at Hawthorne Elementary. When we got back to class the teacher was crying and told us President Kennedy had been shot dead. (obviously way before today's touchy-feely mush method of 'he passed...'). Then we were sent home early.

Seemed so strange to be hearing he was shot, since just before that, JFK had come through ABQ to visit the Lab. We were standing on the corner of Central and Wyoming and my daddy hoisted me up on his shoulders so I could see his car go by.
