As a youth, I attended Carl Sandburg Jr HS in Mundelien Illinois. Sitting in class one day, admin made an announcement over the speaker...President Kennedy had been shot.
Years later, the wife and I visited the Carl Sandburg home in Flat Rock, NC.
I’ll have to visit the home. I grew up knowing about Sandburg, as he was friends w/ my grandfather, a librarian. Through my grandfather, Sanburg inspired deep historical appreciation in all of us in the family.
